Today, Marlyn is the proud mother of three strong and resilient children. She’s reclaimed her health, rediscovered her joy, and is now living life to the fullest—traveling the world and helping others along the way.

Join us as we talk about life as young widows, the courage it takes to keep loving after loss, and how Marlyn’s heart remains open—proof that healing and hope can coexist.

I'll Praise You In The Storm

In this episode of Bethann takes listeners beyond the headlines of recent school shootings and the assassination of Charlie Kirk . With years of walking alongside widows, bereaved parents, and grieving families, she shares what grief really looks like—not just in the first days after loss, but years and even decades later.

From shock and survival mode to the quiet resilience of carrying grief for life, this conversation reveals the after-effects most never see. Grief doesn’t end when the news cycle moves on—it is a lifelong journey of love, loss, and learning to carry both.

In this episode, we sit down with Taylor—a young wife, beautiful soul, and ovarian cancer warrior. At just 28 years old, she faced a diagnosis many never expect at such a young age. Taylor shares her journey through fear, treatment, and resilience, while opening up about the silent nature of ovarian cancer—the “cancer that whispers.” Her story is both a reminder of the importance of awareness and a testament to courage, hope, and the power of speaking out.

Grief isn’t neat, quick, or something you “get over.” In this episode, I share what I wish people knew about grief—from the truth that it has no timeline, to the fact that it’s more than sadness, to why you don’t need to fix it for someone else.

Whether you’re grieving or supporting someone who is, this is a space for honesty, compassion, and connection. Follow, share, and keep the conversation going.

Have you ever felt heavy, anxious, or off—only to realize a meaningful date is approaching? A birthday, an anniversary, or the day everything changed?

In this episode, I’m talking about how our bodies remember grief, even when we don’t realize it. As Dan’s birthday approaches, I’m noticing it in myself—the tension, the emotions rising, the memories. And it got me thinking…

💭 Why do special dates affect us so deeply—sometimes before we even see them coming?

We explore:

– How the brain tracks patterns and seasons

– Why sensory memories trigger emotion

– What our nervous system holds onto

– How to listen to your body and respond with compassion

– Ways to connect with your loved one during these times (yes, even asking them to send a sign)

You’re not crazy. You’re not “going backward.”

You’re simply remembering—with your whole being.
