Episode 111
This week I am chatting with Josefina Sanders. She has joined us on the podcast in the past and was a speaker for our virtual conference this past fall. I am excited to have her back on the podcast as she has an incredible amount of wisdom to share. You can look forward to hearing her more as we plan to have her back a few more times in the coming year. This week I am asking Josefina all the questions about what it was like to navigate marriage amidst loss. Over the past 4 years she and her husband have experienced two miscarriages and have walked through much in regard to their journey to becoming parents. It has been difficult and yet Josefina said everything they have gone through has deeply impacted their relationship for the better.
One of the things Josefina and I talk about is how to pursue your spouse or partner even amidst loss and grief; she talked about making time for and being intentional about having fun… even when you’re hurting. We know how difficult that can be but also how important it is, so we put together a free download for you to use to help re-ignite that fun and give your hearts a break from heavy and hard conversations and moments of grief.
