Annick's Story

When I found out I was pregnant with my second child, I was going through a very challenging time. My pregnancy was unexpected, and I struggled with how to move forward. I eventually visited a local women's clinic in Palm Beach County, Florida, where I learned about Embrace Grace. I searched for a group in my area and connected with a leader named Cheryl.

‍

My Embrace Grace experience was probably a little different from most. When I started, it was just Cheryl and me. She became more than a group leader. She became a mentor, a friend, and honestly, like family to me. Another mom eventually joined us, but our group remained very small. I've always valued quality over quantity, and even having just one person pour into my life made such a difference.

‍

Cheryl and I came from similar church backgrounds, so I never felt pressured to change what I believed. Instead, we were able to dig deeper into our faith. After every video, we would have these intimate, honest, and genuine conversations. She's been such a light and joy in my life and in my children's lives.

‍

One of my favorite memories was the baby shower. The other mom and I were both expecting boys, and the church put together such a beautiful celebration for us. I felt so loved and celebrated. It amazed me that people would take time out of their lives to do something so special for someone they barely knew.

‍

Embrace Grace brought me a level of community and friendship that is beyond any value. I still have a wonderful relationship with Cheryl. I never expected to find such a meaningful friendship through this experience, and I'm so grateful for the way she's continued to love and support my family.
