In this meaningful conversation, Steve Gamlin opens his heart and shares the love story he built with his wife, Tina—and the deep grief he faced after her sudden passing. He reflects on how love doesn’t end with loss, and how honoring Tina’s life has shaped the way he now shows up in the world.
Steve talks about healing through purpose, kindness, and intentional growth. He also introduces a powerful shift in how we think about visualization and vision boards—not as wish lists for things, but as tools for becoming the person we’re called to be. This episode is a reminder that grief can coexist with growth, love can continue beyond loss, and healing often begins with small, faithful steps forward.
A strong love story doesn’t end—it transforms
Grief can open the door to deeper purpose and personal growth
Visualization is about who you are becoming, not what you acquire
Daily routines and small moments of love matter more than we realize
Action is the bridge between dreaming and healing
Vision boards are most powerful when they include emotion and meaning
Acts of kindness can be a beautiful way to honor those we’ve lost
Honest communication strengthens relationships, even in hard seasons
Community and support are essential in the grieving process
Rebuilding life after loss takes reflection, courage, and intentional steps
