Big Feelings, Big Faith: How to Help Kids Find Peace When Life Feels Scary with Dorena Williamson

How do we help our kids feel safe when the world feels scary?

In this deeply moving conversation, Wendy welcomes back author Dorena Williamson to talk about her newest children’s book, Every Breath, Every Blessing. Together, they explore how to support kids through big feelings, fear, grief, and uncertainty, while anchoring them in hope, faith, and emotional resilience.

Dorena shares the powerful story behind the book, written in the aftermath of tragedy in her Nashville community, and how it became a tool to help children (and adults) process hard moments with honesty and grace.

You’ll learn how to guide your kids in naming their emotions, using breath as a calming tool, and finding small glimpses of goodness even in the hardest seasons.

This episode is a gentle, grounding reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, we are not alone, and there is always a way back to peace, one breath at a time.
