If you've ever felt like pain has no purpose, like suffering is just a random part of life, I want you to know you're not alone. I've lost three children and my husband, and I know what it feels like to search for meaning in the midst of heartbreak. But I've also learned that even in the deepest pain, we can find our purpose.
In this episode, I share my story and how I found purpose after unimaginable loss. It's not about minimizing your pain, but about empowering you to find your own meaning.
