What does it mean to carry childhood pain and still grow up with a heart wide open to others?
In this deeply moving episode, our guest reflects on how early loss shaped her identity—not by hardening her, but by igniting a profound sense of empathy. Whether it was comforting a classmate, befriending a neighbor battling cancer, or simply praying in the woods as a child, her instinct was always to reach out, to connect, and to help.
We explore her childlike prayers—simple yet powerful pleas for love, understanding, and healing—and how those quiet moments of spiritual longing laid the foundation for a life of service. She shares how her pain didn’t build walls, but rather created bridges to others in need.
If you’ve ever wrestled with loss, felt the pull to make a difference, or found yourself praying for clarity in the middle of chaos—this conversation will meet you right where you are.
