When Faith Meets Grief: Trusting God After Repeated Loss with Sheila of the Quiet Cry Project

What happens when your faith is tested… again and again?

After experiencing 17 losses in just five years, Sheila shares what it means to carry layered, compounded grief — the kind that doesn’t come once, but in waves.

This conversation creates space for the hard questions… the silent struggles… and the kind of grief that often goes unseen. If you’ve ever wrestled with your faith in the middle of heartbreak, this episode will remind you: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to stay connected to God.

Navigating Sibling Loss: How to Heal, Cope with Grief & Find Purpose with Jessica & Liz

In this episode of the Highlight Your Healing Podcast, Shannon is joined by Jessica and Elizabeth, co-hosts of the Grieving Sisters Podcast, for an honest conversation about sibling loss, navigating grief, and turning pain into purpose. As childhood friends who both experienced the loss of a younger sibling, Jessica and Liz share what grief has looked like in their everyday lives — the parts people don’t always see or talk about. They open up about how their loss changed them, how they learned to carry grief in a way that allows them to keep showing up, and how they’ve used their voices to create a space for others navigating similar experiences. This conversation explores the reality of sibling grief, the shifts in identity that come with loss, and what it looks like to find meaning without rushing the process. If you’ve ever felt like your grief was overlooked or hard to explain, this episode will remind you that your experience is valid — and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Navigating Motherhood While Grieving Your Mom | Loss, Postpartum & Healing with Desiree Logan

In this episode of the Highlight Your Healing Podcast, Shannon is joined by Desiree, founder of Mamas Mosaic Collective, for an honest conversation about grief, motherhood, postpartum depression, and the pressure Black women often feel to remain strong through it all. Desiree shares her experience losing the two most influential women in her life — her grandmother and mother, and what it was like stepping into motherhood while carrying unresolved grief. Desiree discusses the emotional weight of becoming a mother without your own mother physically here, the identity shifts that come with postpartum, and how grief can surface in unexpected ways when life changes. This conversation also challenges the “superwoman” narrative that leaves many Black women feeling isolated and unsupported, while reminding listeners that healing was never meant to happen alone. If you’ve ever struggled with grief, motherhood, identity shifts, or feeling like you have to carry everything by yourself, this episode will remind you that there is strength in being held too.
