Jessica’s Story
Our guest this week is Jessica Swift. Jessica tells us her story of losing her husband in 2018. At the time they had a toddler and were pregnant with their 2nd child. Soon after her husband passed away she found that rainbows carried a form of symbolism for her husband. She began to paint beautiful rainbows. The first 40 that she painted went to close friends and family of theirs. She continued to paint and use that as a form of therapy. Throughout her story you'll hear Jessica talk about what helped her move forward after such a tragedy.

Angie is our guest on this week's episode. Angie became a widow just a few short years ago and she tells us her story of loss and having to find herself again. At the time of her late-husbands passing, they had just become empty nesters - so trying to navigate loss during an already new chapter was tough, and Angie teaches us about what she learned during that time.
Angie is an incredible soul with an amazing heart. We loved recording this episode with her. We hope you guys love it too.

Lyndsey’s Story
Lyndsey's story is one that you won't want to miss! Whit and I know that we will be sharing her story with all of our family and friends for many reasons.
Lyndsey's story is about her son who was speeding while driving with his best friend. Her storing is heartbreaking, but she is courageous for telling it. She talks about survivor's guilt, and how that has impacted her family. She talks about changes that she wish she could make and gives advice to us parents who have teen drivers now, and in the future.
I personally learned so much from her and her words. As hard as it is for her to tell her story, I know it will impact someone else for the better.
