This episode holds both joy and grief in the same breath.

After receiving incredible news and finally moving out of tiny living and onto the family farm, we found ourselves celebrating a long-answered prayer. And yet, in the middle of all that joy, there was an awareness I strongly felt that our last night before the move may have looked very different from my father-in-law’s last night.

In this conversation, I reflect on the quiet truth that sometimes our happiest moments can sit alongside someone else’s hardest ones. Our joy might come with another person’s pain. Our answered prayers may exist at the same time as someone else’s loss.

This episode celebrates the good while still posturing our hearts with compassion and to remain grateful without becoming unaware, and to remember that we never fully know what’s happening on the other side of our joy.

This is Part 2 of our Wilderness Season series, where we continue an honest conversation about what it means to walk through hard seasons without getting stuck there.

Last week, we talked about walking in the hard — grief, loss, and the unraveling of identity that often comes in wilderness seasons. This week, we shift the focus to hope and movement.

Together we talk about

• Gently pick yourself up after loss
• Choose not to stay stuck in survival mode
• Take imperfect but meaningful steps forward
• Understand the vital role wellness and the "wellness wheel" play in healing emotionally, spiritually, and physically

This episode is for anyone asking: How do I move forward when I’m exhausted, unsure, or still hurting? You don’t have to have it all figured out, you just need to make that choice and take the next small step.
