Episode 100 - Heather's Story - "Gold-In Cracks:" Finding Herself Amidst Loss, Eating Disorder Recovery, & Motherhood

Dela

What do you do when your worst fear becomes your reality — just as your life is beginning.

In this deeply moving conversation, Heather Palmer shares her journey through devastating loss, silent struggle, and ultimate healing. Shortly after getting married, Heather’s husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Because of the side effects of his treatment, they turned to IVF to conceive their daughter — a baby her husband would only get to know for one precious month in the hospital before he passed away.

Heather opens up about navigating new motherhood while grieving, remarrying and growing her family, and the hidden battle she fought with an eating disorder — even when everything looked “fine” on the outside.

Now the author of Gold-In Cracks, Heather draws on the Japanese concept of Kintsugi — the art of repairing broken pottery with gold — to show how our deepest pain can become the very place our strength shines through.

This episode is a powerful reminder that broken doesn’t mean ruined — it can mean rebuilt, refined, and even more beautiful than before.
