This one has been sitting with us since the moment we hit stop on the recording and we just could not wait another second to tell you about it.

Today on Shining Light on Minnesota, our host Karissa Dunham sat down with one of her actual oldest and dearest friends, Lisa Price. These two go back over 35 years, probably closer to 40 honestly, and watching them just talk on Zoom like the lifelong friends they are was something really special to witness.

Lisa is originally from Rochester, Minnesota and is now out in Colorado building a beautiful new chapter of her life. And her story? It stopped Karissa in her tracks. Not because it is easy to hear, but because it is so incredibly real and so incredibly brave.

Lisa has walked through some of the heaviest things a person can carry. Alcoholism. Eating disorders. Divorce. The kind of storms that can swallow a person whole. And through every single one of them, she kept going. Her daughter, who is absolutely gorgeous just like her mom, was her anchor. That love is woven into every part of who Lisa is and it comes through in every word she speaks.

What makes Lisa's story even more beautiful is the village that never left her side. She has the most incredible family. Loving, steady parents and three big brothers and their families who have been in her corner through every hard season, cheering her on, holding her up, and reminding her who she is. That kind of love is rare and it is powerful and honestly it will make you tear up a little. The whole family is just amazing.

But here is what really gets us. Where Lisa is right now. She is on this gorgeous, hard-earned journey of self discovery and she is finally, truly learning to love herself. And if you have ever doubted whether that kind of healing is possible, this conversation is going to answer that question for you in the most moving way.

This episode is for anyone who has ever faced something that felt impossible and kept going anyway. For anyone who has ever felt lost and wondered if they would find their way back. For anyone who just needs to hear that it is possible to come out the other side softer, stronger, and more yourself than ever before.

There is a nugget in this one for everyone. We promise you that.

Yes it was recorded on Zoom but please do not let that stop you for even one second because you absolutely have to hear this conversation. Karissa will drop the link as soon as it is live this week. Clear your schedule. Grab your coffee. Get your tissues ready.

This is Shining Light on Minnesota doing exactly what it was made to do. 🌟
