Beth Knopik is a longtime Sarasota resident who tragically lost her 16-year-old daughter, Leanna, in 2012. A Wayfinder Life Coach, deacon and Stephen Minister, Beth’s life mission is to preserve and expand Leanna’s legacy by helping others through the grieving process. Her published memoir, Beyond the Rainbow, A Mother’s Journey Through Grief to Grace, was released in October of 2022, and Beth is seeking to tell her story more widely. Her primary goals are to share the details about her path to healing, to quell feelings of isolation, and to let people know that joy and peace can be found on the other side of darkness.
