In October Chris' disease reached a tipping point and sent the Snow family into a months-long free fall. Now, more than four months since things started spiralling out of control, Chris and Kelsie sit down to talk about what happened in October, about losses of function that started to turn the tide of how their family works and about the trauma of repeated medical emergencies.

In the Season Three opener, Chris and Kelsie talk about the loneliness of longterm illness, about the difficulty of watching your person grieve losses and grapple with profound sadness, about feeling isolated and alone in rooms full of people or even next to the person you love most, and about how to let people know you see their struggle and that you care.

Steve Gleason, the former NFL safety who has been living with ALS for 11 years and been totally paralyzed for eight of those, joins Kelsie and Chris for a conversation about how he and his family are flourishing in a life most people would find impossible thanks to radical acceptance, deep compassion for themselves and each other and abiding love.

Photos of ESPN SportsCenter anchor Nicole Briscoe’s family look like  a dream life, but infertility and the isolation and shame it causes are an all-too-common nightmare. Nicole and her husband, professional race-car driver Ryan Briscoe, worked for 10 years to make their picture-perfect family. The end result was two beautiful little girls. The path to that point involved seemingly endless cycles of hormones, needles, IVF treatments, never being diagnosed with a disease that can directly impact fertility despite being seen by countless fertility doctors and miscarriages so numerous you lose track of exactly how many there were.

Now, only two months removed from a hysterectomy, Nicole talks about it all – the complicated and conflicting emotions, the guilt, the anger, the shame, the isolation, the resulting grief from 10 years of thinking constantly about getting pregnant and staying pregnant and losing pregnancies – in an effort to help other women going through the same thing know that they are not alone.
