In this powerful and deeply vulnerable season closer, we welcome a guest whose story holds the weight of every parent’s worst fear. One year ago, Tammy received a call that shattered her world—her daughter had been stabbed to death. What followed was a journey through grief no parent imagines walking.

Tammy joins us to share the unfiltered truth of what it’s like to survive the unimaginable. With raw honesty and unshakable courage, she opens up about the moment that changed everything, the dark valleys she’s walked through since, and the lifelines that have helped her keep going. From the anger and numbness to the small flickers of healing, Tammy brings us inside her experience—offering hard-earned wisdom, fierce love, and a message every parent needs to hear.

Together, we explore:

• The brutal reality of “that call” and the shock that follows

• What helped Tammy hold on when everything fell apart

• The role of community in grief—how to build one that truly holds you

• How to be a safe place for your kids

• The deep strength of a mother’s love, even in unspeakable loss

This episode is tender, gritty, and real. It’s a reminder that while we cannot always protect our children from this world, we can be their anchor in it—and find our own healing in the process.

To every parent who has ever feared “the call”—this episode is for you. To those who are living it—you are not alone.
