Using Adversity to Thrive & Succeed with Kim Sorelle

What this episode covers

In this deeply moving and inspiring episode, Jana Nixa sits down with her dear friend Kim Sorrell for a rare, wide-ranging conversation Kim almost never shares publicly. From her whirlwind teenage romance and early entrepreneurship, to navigating simultaneous cancer diagnoses, devastating loss, and a life-changing commitment to understanding love. Kim's story is a masterclass in resilience, integrity, and leading with the heart in business and in life. About Kim Sorrell Kim Sorrell is a best-selling author, award-winning entrepreneur, international speaker, podcast host, and TV talk show host whose life story is as extraordinary as the wisdom she shares. A self-made entrepreneur since age 18, Kim has built and run multiple businesses, including event facilities, a golf course, and catering operations, while raising five children and coaching youth sports for 25 years. After facing a breast cancer diagnosis, the sudden loss of her beloved husband, and a pivotal humanitarian response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Kim channeled her grief into a profound year-long study of love, culminating in a book that redefines what it means to truly live and lead from love. She has since spoken at the United Nations and continues to direct the humanitarian organization she co-founded with her father. Kim embodies her core belief that everyone can live a life worth loving and that love is not an emotion, but a way of being.
