What if the hardest seasons of your life weren’t meant to destroy you but to refine you?

In this episode of The Healing in Sharing, I sit down with Melanie Cox, an author and woman of faith and the author of You Have to Know.

Melanie shares openly about childhood trauma, infertility, depression, marriage, motherhood, thyroid cancer, and the faith that helped her stop letting her past define her future.

We talk about getting unstuck, the power of gratitude, guarding our words, choosing the right people around us, and taking one small step forward when life feels heavy.

Sometimes the fire scars us; sometimes it refines us.

Katherine Connors had just returned from her honeymoon when a family health crisis was followed by the shocking discovery of a secret that changed everything.

Years later, unresolved pain followed her into motherhood as she struggled with postpartum depression, feeling unheard, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. In this honest conversation, Catherine shares her journey through family betrayal, forgiveness, boundaries, and the healing that began when someone finally listened.

She also opens up about discovering polarity therapy, exploring generational patterns, and finding a new sense of purpose through the very experiences that once caused so much pain.

Sherrie Evans grew up in foster care, with more than 47 placements across two states, always searching for a love that felt safe. She found it, lost it, and found it again through faith, marriage, and eventually motherhood. But nothing prepared her for losing two of her children to fentanyl-laced overdoses within six months of each other other.I

In this conversation, Sherrie shares what it's like to carry grief that never fully goes away, why she refuses to let shame or stigma have the final word for families touched by addiction, and how she turned unimaginable loss into Legacy of Hope: a project offering healing retreats, advocacy for foster kids, and a place for grieving mothers to say their children's names out loud. This episode is for anyone who has ever needed to borrow someone else's hope for a while. Sherrie reminds us: it never goes away, but it does become less invasive, and there is still light on the other side.

Content note: this episode includes discussion of child abuse, addiction, and loss of a child. Please listen with care.
