Divorce is Not the End of Your Story // Brandi Wilson
Some seasons of life seem more difficult than one human should have to bear. For Brandi Wilson that season was 2016, the year her husband – a megachurch pastor – walked away from the church and their family.

She and her three boys began a new journey marked by deep grief and suffering – but also hope, freedom, boldness, and peace. Today Brandi thanks God for the redemptive healing in her life and reassures other newly single women that they are not alone. Divorce is not the end of the story. This podcast will bring hope to all single moms even if divorce is not a part of your story.

confronted grief and heartache head-on and learned how to rise from the pain. Filled with insight, empathy, and laugh-out-loud humor, Better Than Okay shows it is possible to move forward with hope after divorce.
