Brandi Wilson knows what it’s like to have your life crumble overnight. Born and raised in a Christian family in Kentucky, Brandi’s life was filled with faith and community.

However, in 2016, her world turned upside down when her husband decided to leave the ministry, their marriage, and their family.

Amidst the devastation, Brandi found an opportunity to rebuild her life. She discovered that grief does not shrink with time but rather, we grow around it. This realization became a beacon of hope and encouragement for other women who were navigating similar paths.
