What would you do if your phone rang at 3:37AM… and within hours, your entire life changed forever?
In this deeply emotional and unforgettable conversation, originally published in October 2025, Kevin sits down with Australian-native Kate Gladdin who is a speaker, author, and resilience advocate for a story that will stop you in your tracks.
At just 20 years old, Kate received the kind of phone call no one is ever prepared for. Her older sister Nicole — her best friend, role model, and lifelong companion — had been involved in a devastating accident while traveling overseas in Thailand.
What began as confusion quickly turned into heartbreak. Within hours, Kate’s family was thrown into unimaginable grief.
But this episode is about more than loss.
It’s about what happens after life shatters.
It’s about learning how to keep moving forward when your world no longer looks the way it once did.
It’s about resilience, grief, healing, mental strength, courage, purpose, and the life-changing realization that tomorrow is never guaranteed.
And perhaps most importantly… it’s about choosing to live fully in honor of the people we love.
This is one of those conversations that stays with you long after the episode ends.
If you’ve ever faced a loss that made you question everything… if you’ve ever felt like your world stopped spinning and you didn’t know how to start again — this episode will speak straight to your soul. Most of all, today's conversation will help you answer the heart-wrenching question we all struggle to comprehend:

What if the life you loved… the family you built… and the future you imagined suddenly came crashing down all around you?
Whether you’re a mother, a father, someone grieving, someone struggling, or simply someone trying to hold onto faith in a difficult season of life… this episode may be exactly what your heart needs today.
In this deeply emotional and unforgettable conversation, Kevin sits down with Amber Emily Smith for one of the most powerful episodes ever shared on Grit, Grace, & Inspiration.
Originally released in October 2025, this episode quickly became a listener favorite — and for Mother’s Day, we are bringing it back as a special #FanFav Episode.
Amber speaks openly and honestly about...
The dream life she and her husband were building,
Motherhood and raising three beautiful children,
The heartbreaking loss of their son, River,
The unimaginable grief that followed,
And the unexpected miracle that would come next.
But this conversation is about so much more than loss. It’s about what happens when faith becomes more than just something you say you believe. It’s about surviving the moments that should break you. It’s about learning how to keep living when your heart doesn’t know how. And ultimately… it’s about hope.

What would you do if you had 20 seconds to realize you were dying… and couldn’t do anything to stop it?
In this episode, you’ll step into a true story where those 20 seconds changed everything—and what came after is even more powerful.
There are moments in life that don’t just disrupt your plans—they rewrite your entire identity. And when that happens, most people aren’t struggling with motivation… they’re struggling with how to keep going when everything familiar is gone. This episode speaks directly to that moment—the one where life no longer looks like you thought it would, and you’re left figuring out what comes next.
In this powerful, deeply human conversation, you’ll hear the full journey of Melissa Strong—a woman whose life was already taking unexpected turns before one single moment changed everything.
You’ll walk with her through the path that led up to that moment…
The terrifying, life-altering experience of being electrocuted and unable to escape…
And most importantly, the long, grueling road that followed.
But what makes this episode unforgettable isn’t just what happened to her.
It’s who she chose to become because of it.
This is a story about breaking… rebuilding… and discovering a strength you didn’t know you had until life demanded it from you. It’s about identity, resilience, purpose—and what it truly means to keep going when everything in you has a reason to stop.
And if you stay until the end, you’ll hear something incredibly special—a custom song created from this very conversation, capturing the heart of her journey in a way words alone never could.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought… “This isn’t what I planned.” Not even close. Maybe something changed. Maybe something ended. Maybe life just didn’t turn out the way you thought it would. And now you’re left trying to figure out… How do I move forward from here?
Why It’s So Hard When Life Isn’t What You ImaginedHere’s the truth most people don’t talk about: It’s not just what happened that’s hard… it’s letting go of the life you thought you were going to live. In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most important mindset shifts you can make:
"Just because life looks different… doesn’t mean it still can’t be good."
If you’ve been stuck comparing your life to what it used to be… or what you thought it would be… this episode is for you.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. And when it doesn’t, it’s easy to feel stuck—stuck in the past, stuck in comparison, stuck in disappointment. But what if the problem isn’t your life… what if it’s the way you’re looking at it? In this episode, Kevin shares a deeply personal and practical message about:
Because even if life isn’t what you imagined… it can still become something meaningful, fulfilling, and even better than you expected.
