In this first episode of Beauty in the Ashes, I share the moment everything collapsed. The loss, the silence, the ashes left behind when life did not turn out the way I believed it would. Divorce has a way of stripping away identity, security, and hope, leaving you wondering who you are and how you survive the aftermath.

This is not a polished testimony. It is an honest look at grief, shock, and the slow realization that something is over. If you are walking through heartbreak, betrayal, or the kind of loss that changes you forever, this space is for you.

I did not know it then, but even in the ashes, God was still present. Quiet. Patient. Working behind the scenes.

This series is about survival before healing, truth before transformation, and the journey from ashes to beauty.

You are not alone.
You are seen.
You are loved.
And God is still writing your story.
