His Heartbeat with Sue Corl

“Grieving with God”

When Sue Corl invited me onto the His Heartbeat podcast, I knew I'd be sharing one of the most vulnerable chapters of my story, and honestly, that both terrified and excited me. As someone who's always been a take-charge, type-A personality, learning that pregnancy would be difficult for my husband and me felt like a collision course with everything I thought I could control.

I opened up about how that diagnosis created this unexpected tension between me and God. I talked about how the unpredictability of infertility challenged my faith in ways I never anticipated. We discussed something I think so many women struggle with but rarely discuss: the isolation that comes when you're grieving, especially when well-meaning friends and family offer advice that somehow makes you feel more alone than before.

Sue and I explored how crucial it is to stay connected to community during these dark seasons, even when it feels safer to withdraw. I shared how I've learned to be intentional about drawing near to God when everything feels uncertain, and how I've had to constantly remind myself of His character; that no matter what chaos surrounds me, He remains good. If you're walking through your own season of uncertainty or grief, I hope our conversation reminds you that you don't have to navigate it alone.
