In this episode, I sit down with my friend Katie Hadfield to talk about loss, grief, and what it means to truly anchor your life in God.

Katie was raised in Holladay, Utah, in a strong LDS family. As a young girl, her world was shaken when her parents’ faith and marriage unraveled—marking her first experience with deep loss.

Over the years, that loss compounded: the death of a boyfriend, and eventually, the death of her father.

Each moment of grief could have hardened her—but instead, it refined her.

Through heartbreak and uncertainty, Katie found God in a way that changed everything. Her faith became unshakable—not because life got easier, but because she chose to keep walking with God no matter what.

This is a conversation about grief, resilience, and the quiet strength that comes from never letting go of God, even when everything else falls apart.

Katie’s testimony is steady, lived-in, and deeply sincere—and her cheerfulness, her kindness and love for others reflect the depth of the faith she carries.
