Bethany Spencer is a writer, speaker, and certified coach whose words offer a soft landing place for grieving hearts. With a voice that is both tender and true, she meets sorrow head-on—bravely naming what hurts while fiercely holding onto hope.

After losing her first husband to cancer while raising five young children, Bethany knows the devastation of loss. Her words rise from the wildness—honest, unfiltered, and anchored in a rugged, resilient faith. She helps others carry both pain and purpose, reminding them they don’t have to choose between grief and growth.

Now remarried and living in Costa Rica, Bethany walks with women through the ache of loss and the beauty of becoming. Through retreats, courses, devotionals, and her weekly Hope Notes newsletter, she creates soul-safe spaces where grievers can rediscover their footing without rushing their healing.

When she’s not speaking or writing, you’ll likely find Bethany barefoot on the beach, swapping stories around the dinner table with her family, and savoring slow mornings with a hot cup of cacao.
