In this powerful episode of the Day One Podcast, we sit down with Karen Marchione—author, radio host, and advocate for resilience—to explore how her personal journey through grief became the foundation for a life dedicated to offering hope to others.

Karen experienced deep loss early in life, losing her sister as a child and later her first husband, with whom she built a successful business. Those experiences, combined with her 20-year career as a special education teacher, shaped her heart for encouraging people through hardship. Her book, HOPE: How Other People Endure, and her radio show, The HOPE Show, share stories of endurance, healing, and the strength of the human spirit.

In this conversation, Karen opens up about:
How grief reshaped her life and strengthened her purpose
Why telling your story can help someone else endure
The message behind her book and the impact of The HOPE Show
What it truly looks like to rebuild after loss
The power of faith, resilience, and choosing hope day after day

If you're navigating grief, rebuilding after heartbreak, or searching for purpose in a hard season, this episode will remind you that you are not alone and hope is still possible.

Listen now and take your next Day One step toward healing and restoration.
