Cope & Land

Keeping the Faith


Listen Later

Life often gives us moments of challenge when we least expect it. When faced with difficult times, it’s our strength, character, and faith that we have to lean on to get ourselves through. Our personal growth through adversity not only benefits us, personally, but can also be an incredible tool in guiding and helping others. 


Today, I welcome my first in-person guest: my friend and TikTok superstar, Kim Dandurand. Kim is an entrepreneur, the mother of two boys, a retired teacher, and youth minister, and a brain tumor survivor. She believes in embracing every moment, that joy is contagious, and that tomorrow is never guaranteed. 


Kim chats with me about her journey through her illness and how the power of her faith, her positivity, and her intuition brought her through to the other side. She gets real with me about her struggle with God during her toughest times, and how the wisdom of one of her students brought her back to Him. 


Tune in and listen to episode five of Cope and Land. Join us as we discuss Kim’s deep faith, how it was affected by the loss of her father, and the lessons she’s learned and the strength she’s gained from that tumultuous experience.

  • About the health scare “mess” that helped Kim find her message (4:30)
  • How music helped Kim through some of her scariest moments (11:56)

  • Where did your anger and bitterness stem from? (31:30)
  • What allowed you to open back up to God? (32:39)
  • What are your big hopes and dreams moving forward? (39:01)
