## Resource

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we are joined by Elizabeth Smart for a powerful and deeply human conversation. She opens up about the realities of grief, healing, and choosing peace in the aftermath of unimaginable darkness. Together, we explore why healing isn’t linear, why some wounds echo long after the moment has passed, and how it’s possible to build a meaningful life even while carrying the imprint of loss. We also dive into the profound importance of support, connection, and community—and how none of us are meant to heal alone.
