Every Story Is Unique, but I speak the language of triumph...I started this podcast as a way to introduce you to my life through my memoir, C.O.L.A. Casualty of Love's Apologies was written to begin conversations of a life journeying through mistrust, abandonment, emotional abuse and grief.

A frank faith conversation about grief, leaving, and what cannot come with you.
This episode stays close to faith, grief, and the hard work of leaving behind what no longer fits the next season. It is at its best when it turns personal pain into something usable, especially in the move from grief to forward motion and in the Abraham-and-nephew story, which…
