In this episode, Ruthie Gray talks with Jodi Snowdon about the grief and complexity of sandwich season, where caregiving for an aging parent overlaps with launching adult children and navigating major life transitions. Jodi shares how her own journey through divorce, miscarriage, loss, and caregiving led her to write Depth and develop a framework for moving through heartbreak with faith.
We discuss how to sit with grief without rushing past it, why trust can coexist with unanswered questions, and how pain can become a place of deeper purpose and perspective.
