The most brutal sentence in a hospital isn’t loud, it’s calm: “We’re going to go ahead and call it.” I’m taking you into the hours after my daughter Ivy dies, when the room clears out, the machines keep hissing, and your brain tries to understand a world that seemed to come crashing down.

I talk about hugging Ivy, kissing her, apologizing, and feeling guilt that doesn’t care what the facts are. I share the moment Lynn sits in the hallway with a blank stare and asks, “Will I ever smile again?” and why my faith in God doesn’t erase the pain, but does give me something to grab when everything else is falling.

Then we get to the hard pivot: leaving Ivy at the hospital to go home to our other kids, walking into a house full of people from church, and discovering how grief attaches itself to sensory memories, like orange Gatorade, late-night prayers, and sleeping together on mattresses just to make it through. If you’re looking for honest conversations about trauma, grief, and what support can look like in real time, this one is for you.

I just renamed the show to What Else Is Possible, and it isn’t a marketing tweak, it’s a statement of what I’m trying to live. I walk through how “possibility mindset,” “something greater is always possible,” and one simple question all point to the same practice: keep asking what else God can do when life feels limited. That leads straight into faith and scripture, and why I keep coming back to the truth that with God all things are possible, even when grief and loss are part of the story.

You’ll also hear what’s new behind the mic: upgraded studio gear, a faster setup for guest conversations, and a proper intro to my producer, Nathan Tompkins. From there I share a real-time update on my health journey, including years of midday energy crashes, lifelong sleep trouble, and the natural plan I’m testing right now. We talk hydration, supplements, “leaky gut,” detox, cutting dairy and grains, and yes, what I’m rethinking about coffee after years of instant.

Then we hit the road. I recap six speaking gigs in eleven days and the conversations that happen when I share the Ivy story in my keynote. People bring their own losses, their own questions, and sometimes their own “8” moments that feel like God’s fingerprints. We also wrestle with something practical and uncomfortable: how easy it is to judge others, and how I want to replace that reflex with compassion, prayer, and love.

If you’re navigating grief, rebuilding your health, or just trying to lead your life with more faith and courage, press play and stay with us. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find the show, what else is possible for you right now?

A normal Thursday turned into a night our family will never forget. In Part 2 of Losing Ivy, I share the story of the night we lost our eight-week-old daughter, Ivy.

It started with a restaurant magic gig, a quick photo outside Starbucks, and the last time I saw Ivy alive as I buckled her into her car seat. While I was performing, life at home carried on as usual—dinner, a junior high girls Bible study, and Ivy going down for a nap.

Then came a phone call from my neighbor and a drive to Children’s Mercy Hospital. I share what happened in the ER, the prayers we prayed, and those final moments with Ivy.

This is our story of loss, faith, and trying to make sense of a night that changed our family forever.

Subscribe for the next part, and if you know someone walking through loss, please share this with them.
