In today’s tender and truth-filled episode, I’m joined by trauma-informed counselor and debut author, Tabitha Panariso, as we gently unpack a topic so many of us carry quietly: rejection.

Tabitha’s new book, Loyal in His Love, is a sacred companion for those navigating the ache of feeling left behind, misunderstood, or unseen—especially in the context of friendship. Together, we explore the unique sting of friendship breakups and why those relational wounds often cut deeper than we expect.

With grace, wisdom, and a lived understanding of heartache, Tabitha invites us to consider: What does God’s loyalty look like when others walk away? How do we heal when friendships don’t end the way we hoped? And what does it mean to remain soft-hearted in a world that often hardens us?

Whether you’ve felt ghosted, grieved a shifting friendship, or are still healing from something unspoken and unresolved—this episode is for you. Tabitha’s words will meet you like a warm blanket, a deep breath, and a reminder: you’re not alone.

I loved this conversation—and I know you will too!
