How do you honor a life lost in a split-second heroic act? Together with my best friend Laci, we unravel the deeply personal story of becoming a widow—a side of my life I've seldom shared. We journey back to the fateful day of June 26th, 2020, when an unforeseen river tragedy forever altered the course of my life. Through candid and unscripted dialogue, we confront the raw emotions of grief and emphasize the profound lesson life’s unpredictability imparts: Cherish every moment with those you love.

As we recount the events of a river rescue gone tragically awry, we also reflect on the societal judgments and misconceptions that emerge in the wake of such incidents. We celebrate the selflessness that earned recognition from the Carnegie Hero Memorial and share the collective experience of grief and gratitude for survival. This narrative is not just about loss but also about the enduring power of love and the strength that arises from shared hardships.

In the aftermath of loss, navigating life with intention becomes paramount. I share how creating meaningful memories with my children, embracing new experiences, and finding therapeutic outlets in bodybuilding have been transformative. Parenting alone brings unique challenges, yet support from family and friends has been crucial. I discuss treatments I found beneficial, such as ketamine therapy, to heal and grow. Join us in this heartfelt conversation about resilience, vulnerability, and the healing journey through trauma and friendship.
