Listen "Turning Grief into Purpose with Julie Barth"
Episode Synopsis
When life knocks you down, it can feel like the story is over. But what if it’s just the beginning of a new chapter?
In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, Kelly sits down with Julie Barth, author of Notes from a Blackberry, to talk about navigating unimaginable loss, raising a child with a rare medical condition, and finding purpose through pain. Julie shares the story of losing her first husband to pancreatic cancer, caring for their four young children—including Tatum, their daughter born with primordial dwarfism—and how documenting everything on her BlackBerry became a lifeline.
This isn’t just a story about tragedy. It’s about resilience. It’s about light in the darkest places. And it’s about how Julie turned her lived experience into advocacy, community, and hope for other women walking through hard seasons.
We dive into:
✨ How Julie processed grief through writing and why she chose to publish her story
✨ What it was like fighting through the medical system for her daughter’s care
✨ The powerful reminder that there is life after unimaginable loss
✨ How she’s helping women in crisis through her nonprofit work
✨ Why her daughter Tatum continues to be a bright light in the world
