89 | When Faith Meets Grief: How One Mom Found Unshakeable Peace After Devastating Loss

Today I'm sharing an incredibly moving conversation with Olivia Figueroa, host of the Peaceful Presence Podcast and a mom who found unshakeable peace in the midst of devastating loss.

When Olivia's sister was diagnosed with aggressive stage 4 colorectal cancer, everything changed. As a busy mortgage professional juggling three kids and a newborn during COVID, she suddenly faced the unthinkable. But instead of falling apart, Olivia made a choice that transformed her faith journey forever.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

• How to find God's peace when prayers seem unanswered and plans fall apart
• The power of cutting out negative noise during difficult seasons
• Why sometimes our greatest trials become our greatest testimonies
• How to trust God's plan even when it doesn't match our expectations
• Finding purpose and calling through unexpected heartbreak

Olivia shares her raw, honest story of walking through two years of believing for a miracle, only to lose her sister anyway - and how that experience deepened rather than destroyed her relationship with God. She reveals how her "surprise" fourth child became exactly what their family needed during their darkest season.

If you're walking through grief, disappointment, or a season that feels impossible, this conversation will remind you that God is still with you. Sometimes our breaking points aren't endings - they're invitations to discover who God really is and who we're called to become.
