  • #416: When Being Mom Isn’t Easy: How to Keep Going When You Can’t Make It All Better

    Get ready to hear directly from a mother on the weight of learning to live between grief and gratitude, carrying both loss and love in the same breath, and finding blessings in a life that no longer looked the way she dreamed it would.

    When a Mother Can’t Fix It

    In today’s episode, you’ll step into the raw, unfiltered reality of a mom who fell to her knees the day her son woke up blind—and what it truly means to keep going when prayer, pain, and love collide.

    If you've ever carried someone you love through suffering—especially when the world told you there was nothing more to be done—this story will speak directly to you. When you're the one who holds it all together, yet suddenly find yourself helpless, where do you go? How do you keep believing, keep loving, and keep showing up when your heart is breaking?

    Living Between Grief and Gratitude

    In this special edition of Grit, Grace, & Inspiration, you will receive front-row access to a deeply emotional conversation taken from the podcast Momsday Bunker, hosted by Keri Henson.


    In this episode, Keri sits down with Teresa Lowe—Kevin’s mom—where she opens her heart and shares the unfiltered journey of motherhood when it’s anything but easy.


    A Life She Didn’t Plan — A Faith She Refused to Lose

    Teresa tells the story of raising a joyful son, watching symptoms go undiagnosed for years, and the moment that shattered her world—the day he woke up blind. With vulnerability and strength, Teresa speaks about learning to live between grief and gratitude, carrying both loss and love in the same breath, and finding blessings in a life that no longer looked the way she dreamed it would.


    This isn’t a neat, polished story—it’s the real, raw story of a mother learning to love through uncertainty, to hold space for pain, and to keep hope alive even when nothing makes sense.

    Prepare to hear the powerful story of a mother’s grief, a family’s journey, and the miracle that came after loss. This is the story of Amber Emily Smith.


    What happens when the life you built — the one that felt like a dream — is shattered in a single moment? In this deeply emotional episode, Amber Smith shares the unimaginable loss of her 3-year-old son, River, the grief that nearly broke her, and the faith that carried her through.

    Amber opens up about how she and her husband Granger navigated a storm of heartbreak, public scrutiny, and private suffering — and how, through surrender and spiritual resilience, they found purpose again. From honoring River’s legacy to the birth of their son Maverick, this is a raw, faith-fueled conversation about loss, motherhood, and redemption.

    • What it looked like to wrestle with faith, doubt, and healing after the loss of a child
    • The full-circle journey of loss, love, and new life that continues to inspire families around the world

    About Amber Emily Smith

    Amber Smith is a mother, speaker, and writer whose life was forever changed by the tragic loss of her 3-year-old son, River, in a drowning accident. At the time, she and her husband Granger were living what many would call a dream — a thriving music career, a young family, a beautiful home — until everything changed in an instant.

    In the midst of unimaginable grief, Amber found herself crying out to God from the bathroom floor, where faith began to take root in her pain. Her story is not one of clean answers or easy healing, but of raw surrender, honest lament, and a steady return to hope.

    Through the birth of their fourth child, Maverick, and the founding of The River Kelly Fund, Amber and her family have turned their deepest heartbreak into a living legacy — one that continues to reach and heal others walking through suffering.

  • #414: How Do You Find the Strength to Keep Going After Losing Your Sister & Your Mom? (with Kate Gladdin)

    When life shatters once, it’s devastating. When it happens twice… it’s almost unthinkable.

    In this deeply moving conversation, Australian-born Kate Gladdin opens her heart to share a story no one should have to experience, much less endure the pain twice.

    If you’ve ever faced a loss that made you question everything… if you’ve felt like your world stopped spinning and you didn’t know how to start again — this episode will speak straight to your soul. Kate’s story reminds us that resilience isn’t about staying positive when life breaks you — it’s about finding purpose in the pieces left behind.

    Why You Must Listen:
    • Hear the defining moments that transformed Kate’s heartbreak into hope
    • Discover what resilience really means when you’ve lost everything — twice
    • Walk away understanding how purpose and meaning can become your lifeline through grief

    What’s It All About?

    “This can’t be happening again.” Those were the words running through Kate Gladdin’s mind when tragedy struck not once, but twice.

    First came the unthinkable — losing her sister Nicole in a tragic accident overseas. But through tears and determination, Kate launched The Nicole Fitzsimons Foundation, turning heartbreak into hope by helping other young people travel safely while living boldly — just as Nicole did.


    Years later, just as life seemed to steady, tragedy returned. Kate’s beloved mother, Julie, was killed while crossing a quiet Wyoming street — another devastating loss caused by a repeat offender who walked away with little consequence.


    And yet, Kate rose again. From grief, she built purpose. From injustice, she sparked change — renaming the foundation the Nicole & Julie Fitzsimons Foundation, now working to reform pedestrian safety laws while continuing to empower others to live courageously.


    Through her pain, Kate has built a global mission — showing the world that resilience isn’t born from denial or blind optimism, but from the decision to live with purpose no matter what life takes away.

    We’ve all been there—scrolling through social media, watching someone else’s highlight reel, and feeling like we’re falling behind.

This episode shows you exactly how to turn the thief of joy into a tool for personal growth, confidence, and clarity.


    Why Must You Listen?
    • You’ll learn three simple, life-changing ways to use comparison to fuel your growth rather than crush your confidence.

With raw honesty and a few personal stories (including what turning 39 taught him about life), Kevin shows you how to stop letting comparison steal your joy and instead make it your ally.


    You’ll learn the three powerful ways to compare—backward, upward, and inward—so you can celebrate your progress, find inspiration instead of envy, and reconnect with what really matters to you.

  • #410: Joyful Rebellion: How Jenna Transformed Life with a Disability Through Music and Advocacy

    They said she couldn't, so she did! Diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at age 7, in a wheelchair by age 8, Jenna would turn a life marked by physical limitations into a platform for creative expression, disability pride, and change-making advocacy. This is a story about finding your voice, redefining your power, and choosing joy in a world that expects your silence!

    From Diagnosis to Defiance

    At just 7 years old, Jenna was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. By 8, she was using a wheelchair. And by 15, she was battling depression, bullying, and the weight of a world that rarely saw her as capable.

    But Jenna's story is not about pity — it's about power. Through nearly two decades of teaching music, performing first-chair trumpet with a fused elbow, and embracing her identity as a disabled woman, Jenna has rewritten the rules — and her role in the world.

    Now, she’s using her voice to advocate for accessibility, inclusion, and representation — turning rejection into recognition and silence into sound.


    Why This Episode Will Move You

    In this episode, you'll hear:

    • How Jenna turned disability into identity — and pride
    • Why music became her lifeline
    • The role teachers and mentors played in shaping her future
    • What it truly means to choose joy in a world that expected her silence


    Whether you're an educator, advocate, parent, or simply someone navigating your own struggle, Jenna’s journey will inspire you to reclaim your voice and rewrite your own narrative.


    Listen to the Song That Tells Her Story
