What does it take to keep going after unimaginable loss?

In this deeply moving episode of The Mike Litton Experience, Mike sits down with Kim Cantin — award-winning author of Where Yellow Flowers Bloom — to talk about love, loss, survival, and hope in the face of devastating tragedy.

Kim’s story is one of extraordinary resilience. She lost her husband, son, and home in the catastrophic Montecito mudslide. Her daughter, Lauren, was buried alive and miraculously survived. Kim shares the raw truth of those moments — from trauma and grief to healing and rebuilding her life.

This is more than an interview. It’s a masterclass in the power of the human spirit, and a heartfelt invitation to find meaning through the pain.

Kim’s memoir has won 7 literary awards, and her voice now inspires thousands navigating their own life-altering events.
Learn how she transformed grief into purpose, built a search team of strangers-turned-family, and now speaks nationally to uplift others.
Hear how her daughter survived being buried alive — in her own words, from the audiobook.

Whether you’re facing grief, hardship, or simply need to be reminded of the strength within us all — this episode will move you, empower you, and leave you hopeful.

Get Kim’s book: Where Yellow Flowers Bloom on Amazon (available in print, Kindle, and audiobook — narrated by Kim and Lauren).
