About this episode
Cassidy Meyers shares her journey of navigating loss and founding a support community for young widows.
In this powerful testimony episode, KB sits down with Cassidy Meyers — a young widow, toddler mom, and advocate who lost her husband Jared unexpectedly to an undiagnosed heart condition in March 2024, just ten months after the birth of their son Griffin. Cassidy opens up about navigating sudden loss at 28, rediscovering her identity, and how grief led her back to faith. She shares how she founded the Jared Myers Legacy Foundation — raising over $14,000 in its first year — and the Young Widows Group, a rapidly growing support community for women experiencing the unimaginable. From keeping Jared's memory alive through bedtime songs and meaningful traditions, to finding the courage to embrace a "chapter two," Cassidy's story is a stunning reminder that God's plans are bigger than our pain, rooted in her beloved verse, Jeremiah 29:11. This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.
