What if survival has less to do with strength and more to do with which voices we let reach us?
In this deeply reflective episode of Our Candy Rose: For Those Who Stay, Dena shares a simple story about two frogs trapped in a well and the devastating difference made by encouragement versus hopelessness. One frog hears the voices saying “you’ll never make it” and gives up. The other keeps jumping unaware the shouts weren’t encouragement at all.
Through the lens of grief, motherhood, and life after loss, this episode explores how words shape our will to live, why hopelessness is so dangerous in vulnerable seasons, and why survival sometimes requires becoming selectively deaf.
This episode is for:
anyone grieving
anyone rebuilding after loss
anyone trying to keep going when the world keeps saying “you can’t”
You don’t have to climb out of the well today.
You just have to keep jumping.
