Karissa shares her story of resilience, unexpected turns, and finding beauty in the hardest places.

Later, Karissa faced new challenges when her first daughter was born with a serious heart condition and Down syndrome, and was later diagnosed with autism. Feeling isolated and caught between support communities where she didn’t quite fit, Karissa wrestled with loneliness and uncertainty. She reminds listeners that even when life unfolds differently than planned, there is still deep beauty to be found. Thank you to our 2026 Headline Sponsor GrazeCraze!
