Nine years after the flood that changed everything, Heather Owens reflects on how healing has unfolded—not in a straight line, but in waves. In this deeply personal episode, she opens up about losing her dad, John (2011); her fiancé, Joe (2016); her stepdad, Curtis (2021); and her granddad, Jim (2025)—the four men who shaped her heart and taught her strength through love.
Heather shares the raw truth of grief, the power of therapy, and the importance of community—the counselor who helped her process pain, the psychiatrist who guided her through dark seasons, and the friends, family, and coworkers who continue to anchor her in light.
Through every heartbreak and every moment of grace, Heather shows that healing isn’t about moving on—it’s about learning to carry both love and loss in the same breath.
