Going through the process of grieving, whether it involves the loss of a friend, a marriage, a goal or future you hoped for, a pet, or a spouse, can take a toll on anyone, especially a mom. Ashley explores how to survive the pain of a loss while continuing to raise thriving families. She is joined by Sam Brand who lost her husband in 2020, while raising her daughter, as she grieves and grows.

Check out Sam’s podcast, From the Pitch to Purpose, where she chronicles much of her journey and manages to find the light in life, even when it’s difficult to do so!
