Joy and grief can coexist❤️‍🩹

Brittany Lutz has walked through a lot of grief the past few years, and also a lot of blessing. After suffering an early and very late miscarriage, she and her husband were blessed with two beautiful children. Then earlier this year, she unexpectedly lost her mom. Brittany walks with an honest grief, but also a deep hope in Christ. She opens up about late miscarriage, holding onto hope in the waiting of “infertility”, and also the reality of losing your own mom while being a mom.

We pray this heartfelt episode touches the moms who need it. Those of you who are walking through grief while still showing up every day for your family. You are not alone.❤️

Brittany Gonzales Lutz is a former model and actress who now lives in Tennessee with her husband and two children. Raised in Orange County, CA, she spent nearly a decade in Los Angeles working in entertainment.

Through it all, her true passion has been encouraging others. Shaped by her own hard seasons, she's on a mission to remind people, especially young women, not to settle for less than God's best. Through social media and her faith-based podcast, Embraced with Grace, she has reached thousands and heard from countless women who credit her honest stories about faith, singleness, marriage, and loss with helping them grow.
