Tara is our last guest for season 3, and her story is an incredible one to end on. Tara speaks with us about losing her daughter, Taylor in a skiing accident. Tara and her family were able to give the gift of life through donating Taylor's organs. They then decided to help form a support group for families who grieve the death of a loved one and also educate about the importance of organ donation. Tara and her husband founded their organization, Taylor's Gift. Their slogan is - Outlive Yourself. We found Tara to be inspiring and uplifting. To go through the loss of a child and to continue to build from that loss is extraordinary. We hope you love her episode!

We are so lucky to have Andrea come and talk to us about her liver transplant because April is Organ Donation Awareness month.

Andrea tells her story so gracefully while sharing the highs and lows of needing an organ, and living with a transplant.

Andrea works closely with Donor Connect in Utah. Andrea and Whitney go speak with schools to teach children about the importance if being an Organ Donor.

We loved having Andrea on this week's podcast and we hope you enjoy her episode!

Andrew is our guest on this weeks episode. Andrew is 61 years young and had been on dialysis for a very long time. Andrew not only is on dialysis but he doesn't have any kidneys at the moment. He gives us some insight into his life being on the transplant list, battling cancer, and going to dialysis 3 days a week. His life isn't easy but he has such a positive attitude. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode!

You guys won't want to miss this episode!

Our guest, Holly Jo is a wife, and a mother of 4. Holly tells us her story of her son Easten getting diagnosed with Biliary Atresia and eventually needing a transplant. She talks about what life was like while Easten was sick, and the emotional rollercoaster of being on a transplant list. Holly then talks about life after transplant.

There are so many ups and downs to her story. I am so grateful for Holly and the bravery that she shows as she raises awareness for organ donation, & talking about how it deeply impacted her family. She did an amazing job, and we hope you enjoy this episode. ❤️

Our guest today is someone so near and dear to our hearts. Jessica is the mom of 3 beautiful children. Her oldest son, Dylan, is the little boy who received Tayzli's heart. She tells us her story today, about being given Dylan's diagnosis of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, while she was pregnant with him. Not knowing what the future would look like with her little baby, Jessica and her husband JP held onto the hope of having their little baby for as long as possible. She told us about the surgeries and procedures they endured, being put on the transplant list, and all the unknowns of waiting for a heart while watching their little boy get sicker and sicker. Jessica also talked about learning about Tayzli and being able to meet her family and the feelings and emotions that happen with organ donation. It was such an honor to talk with Jessica and to hear her side, hear about the struggles Dylan had, and how they are doing now. Thank you Jess for being so vulnerable and sharing your story with us all. We love you!!
