Good Grief, Jesus

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, I sit down with JoBeth Polley, a Grief Recovery Specialist and former university public speaking instructor, who shares her deeply personal journey of loss, healing, and purpose.

At just 33 years old, JoBeth became a widow when her husband, Travis, passed away from a terminal illness on January 20, 2022. Left to navigate grief while raising children and holding onto her faith, JoBeth made a courageous shift, turning her pain into purpose.

Now, she walks alongside others through their grief with education, empathy, and faith-based support. In this conversation, JoBeth opens up about: the reality of young widowhood, rebuilding her faith through deep personal loss, and transitioning from the classroom to a career in grief recovery.

Whether you're grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking depth and hope in hard places, this episode will meet you with honesty, warmth, and purpose. Drop your thoughts or share your story in the comments—we’d love to hear from you.
