Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Anna Melendez—chiropractor, health and wellness expert, and the heart behind The Fresh Pursuit. Anna’s story is raw, honest, and deeply hopeful.
Over the last few years, she has walked through the heartbreaking journey of miscarriage and repeated loss, a road far too many women know but rarely talk about openly. Anna shares how she navigated grief, mourning, and the quiet questions that come with shattered expectations. But she also shares where she found strength: in the presence of Jesus, in His nearness, and in the slow, steady work of healing only He can do.
This conversation is tender, real, and full of encouragement for any woman who has faced loss, waited in the unknown, or found herself in seasons she never imagined. Anna reminds us that even when life breaks us open, God meets us with compassion, grace, and a fresh invitation to draw near.
Whether you’ve experienced miscarriage personally or love someone who has, this episode holds space, offers comfort, and points us back to the One who never wastes our pain.
