A little about me.
I am a mother, a wife, a friend, and lover of Jesus. My husband Brewster Briggs, and I have six children total; his, mine and ours. Two of my children are in heaven. I am the founder of Bridge of Hope San Diego, which began in our garage in 2005. Bridge of Hope’s mission is to strengthen families in transition by providing practical help and community to those in need. I am also a grief coach and am passionate about supporting those who have lost a loved one. God took what was evil in my life, including a cult upbringing, being born into an alcoholic home, a brutal car accident, and tragic family loss. He transformed me, and I discovered that God is the perfect Parent of His children and gives a deep experience of His love in the midst of suffering. In 2022 I published my story titled, "Relentless Pursuit: God's Gentle Guidance Amidst the Storm".
Relentless pursuitAuthor
I started writing Relentless Pursuit about ten years ago. It's a memoir of my life, from the beginning. I was challenged to get real and share some of the hardest moments of my life to reveal the redeeming, faithful, powerful and loving hand of God!
Counselor ofGrief
A few years after my son Nathan went to heaven, I decided I wanted to walk alongside other women who are grieving the loss of their children because It is a dreadfully lonely road. I got my grief coach certification and studied Pesso Boyden for five years.

In 2005, my husband and I started Bridge of Hope in inner-city San Diego. We strengthen families in transition by providing practical help and community, to those in need. We provide food, clothing, and furniture to approximately 1500 families per month.

Mental Health- A Real And Raw Conversation With Matt Kirk Part 2
My conversation with Matt was so insightful, I knew we needed to do another one! On this podcast, Matt shares from his own faith and experience, on the topic of mental health. Matt has become very passionate about the topic of mental health because of his own journey dealing with anxiety and depression. He addresses the question that he is frequently asked, ”Do you believe mental health issues are spiritual or do you think there is purely a psychological explanation for it all?”
His answer is yes. He believes it is both.
Matt shares that If something we are battling does not come from the character of God, it is not from Him. The Word of God says, 'God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.' Yet, God allows us to go through difficulty in order that our faith will be tested, strengthened, and refined for a greater purpose that will bless us and and those around us.
Matt and I also talk about our times of grief and suffering in this life, and the ways we have grown to know the nearness and love of the Father in a most beautiful and profound way, because of our struggles and seasons of suffering.
We also discuss simple God given ways to help calm our nervous systems when needed, while clinging to Jesus throughout the storms of life.
Matt is a pastor. He and his wife Maddie and their children live in Bali. (This recording may sound a little rough in spots.)
