In this episode of Adversity to Strength, I’m joined by Misty Nesbitt, author of The Girl Who Kept Breathing. Married as a teenager and shaped by childhood trauma and systemic failure, Misty’s story begins in adversity. But what makes it powerful is not what happened to her — it’s what she chose to build afterward.We discuss generational trauma, reclaiming identity after survival, personal responsibility, motherhood, and the long road from endurance to growth. Misty speaks honestly about rebuilding a life from the inside out, without blame or sensationalism.

In this episode of Adversity to Strength, I sit down with Milica Vogt, author of Under a Whistling Sky, to explore resilience shaped by war, displacement, and profound loss. Born in war-torn Croatia, Milica spent three years living in refugee camps before immigrating to the United States. Arriving in a new country while carrying trauma and grief, she had to reconstruct her identity from the ground up, navigating both external change and internal upheaval.

Our conversation moves beyond survival narratives. We talk about the lasting psychological imprint of growing up in conflict, what rebuilding after loss truly demands, and how resilience is cultivated in uncertain environments. Milica reflects on the small, intentional steps that make forward movement possible when the path ahead feels unclear, and why storytelling can transform pain into meaning rather than letting it define you.

This is an honest, grounded discussion about healing without sensationalism and hope without denial. If you are navigating grief, transition, or a season of rebuilding, this episode offers perspective, connection, and encouragement.
