She went to Rwanda seeking answers about genocide.
She walked 500 miles along the Western Front searching for peace.
What she discovered was neither.
In this deeply moving conversation, Briana Gervat shares how studying humanity's darkest chapters forced her to confront her own pain, grief, and unanswered questions. From the killing fields of Rwanda to the battle-scarred landscapes of France and Belgium, her journey became far more than historical research—it became a pilgrimage through trauma, healing, and spiritual awakening.
Years later, when she returned to France, everything was different.
Or perhaps she was.
Where she once found silence, she heard wedding bells. Where she once felt sorrow, she found joy. Where she once walked among reminders of death, she experienced life in full bloom.
A conversation about what happens when we stop fighting our healing and allow ourselves to be guided somewhere beyond our fears.
