Description

In this raw and unforgettable episode, we sit down with Ainsly and Ryan Johnson — a couple whose journey will stay with you long after you listen. Ainsly is a devoted ICU nurse; Ryan is a business owner and father who has walked through unimaginable loss after a tragic accident took the life of his first wife.


Together, they share how grief shattered their worlds — and how grace, healing, and faith slowly pieced them back together. From ICU hallways to building a life filled with love and wild, joyful boys, this is a story of heartbreak turned into hope.


If you’ve ever questioned how beauty can come from brokenness, this episode is for you.


In loving memory of Daniela Johnson 💗
