Show Notes

The date is still weeks away, but you can already feel it. Your child's birthday. Their Heaven Day. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Why does the weight of a difficult date begin long before it arrives? In this episode, you'll discover... 👉 Why your body remembers 👉 What may be stirring beneath the surface 👉 How to come back to today 👉 The promise waiting for you in Deuteronomy 31:8 You don't have to carry the weight of a future date today. God will meet you in this day — and He will be there in the days ahead. Sometimes you know exactly why you're having a hard day. Other times, you just know something feels heavy. You're more emotional, you're reacting differently, or you're struggling in ways you can't quite make sense of. Understanding what you're experiencing is one thing. Learning how to work through it is another. That's where Calming the Chaos can help. Inside this self-paced program, I'll help you slow down and take a closer look at the feelings and emotions that surface in grief, uncover what may be happening underneath them, and begin working through those places with practical tools and the truth of God's Word. If you're tired of knowing you're struggling but not knowing why or what to do with what you're feeling, Calming the Chaos may be your next step. 👉 Join me inside Calming the Chaos
