When life feels like it is "too much"- too good, too heavy, too fast - Jesus meets us in the both/and, even in the ache that lingers underneath.

In this tender and timely episode of eighth & GRACE, Brandy Dawson leans into the real and raw tensio of carrying both joy and grief and the ache that lives between them.

You'll hear:

Why new seasons (kid's first days of school, gradations, college drop -offs, empty nesting) often stir hidden grief

The ache underneath milestones- loss, longing, infertility, singleness, shifting friendships, stretched marriages

What women are most hungry for right now: sacred rest, friendship in transition, body + soul belonging, trusting God with unfinished stories.

A prophetic reminder: you don't have to choose. Joy and grief can occupy the same hill. Sorrow and celebration care share the same garden.

Take a deep breath as she offers a breath prayer and gentle permission to be fully human: overwhelmed, but in the best way.
