251. Tethered to Hope with Adriel Booker

Restorative Grief with Mandy Capehart

About

"Most of us spend far more of our lives in the middle than we expect."

What happens when grief is not tied to a single event, but to a season of becoming?

Today, I'm joined by writer and author Adriel Booker, whose newest book, Tethered to Hope, explores the liminal spaces of life. Those moments when something has ended, something else is beginning, and we find ourselves navigating uncertainty, identity shifts, questions of faith, and the grief that often accompanies change.

Together, we explore what it means to live in those in-between spaces with honesty and compassion. Rather than rushing toward resolution, Adriel invites us to consider how hope can remain present even when clarity is not.

If you've ever felt suspended between what was and what comes next, this conversation offers language, companionship, and permission to remain present to your own unfolding.

In this episode, we talk about:

    What liminal spaces are and why they matterThe grief that accompanies change and transitionIdentity shifts after lossFaith, doubt, and living with unanswered questionsHope without certainty
    Learning to remain present during seasons of becomingThe difference between resolution and transformation
