On this episode, we dive into three very different stories from the COVID‑19 pandemic — stories of loss, disruption, resilience, and the strange twists life took when the world shut down.

You’ll hear from:

Brianna — widowed at 31 when her 37‑year‑old husband lost his battle with COVID‑19, and how that loss reshaped everything she thought she knew about her life, her politics, and her future.

Tabitha — whose childbearing journey was thrown completely off course by the pandemic, including being forced to deliver abroad when she couldn’t return to the United States.

Derrick — who found himself racking up more frequent‑flier miles than he ever expected thanks to his unusual pandemic‑era jobs, complete with surprise upgrades and first‑class perks.

Three lives. Three upheavals. One shared moment in history that changed us all in ways we’re still trying to understand.
