Hosts Haley Hatch Freeman and Misty Smith welcome author, speaker, and clinical mental health counseling graduate student Tiffany Fletcher. Tiffany shares how faith practices like hymns, scripture, and focusing on gratitude helped her endure a violent childhood with a mother diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities), including 14 personalities ranging from a three-year-old boy to terrifying encounters with an alter named “Bill.” She teaches about recognizing Satan’s tactics, using prayer, fasting, and faith to push back darkness, and becoming “light keepers” in the latter-days. Tiffany describes a pivotal mission experience that reframed her mother as someone who broke cycles of abuse.

Hosts Haley Hatch Freeman and Misty Smith welcome Haley’s cousin Mindy, a BYU-trained nurse, to share experiences from her early years of motherhood. Mindy recounts receiving a strong impression in the temple to have other children. She felt overwhelming peace and the message “there are no mistakes” just before learning her baby, Tessa, had Down syndrome, and she describes subsequent support from ward members and family, including her mother sensing “grandmothers” present. Mindy shares later incidents where she believes Tessa was protected after being locked in a bathroom with running water, and where her son survived a significant fall from a window with minimal injury. She emphasizes praying always, sharing testimony despite anxiety, and that we are never alone because family members on the other side are invested in our lives.

Hosts Haley Hatch Freeman and Misty Smith interview businessman and author Brandon Kelly, who shares how multiple life-threatening events shaped his faith and purpose. Brandon recounts being nearly killed as a toddler in a car crash, later being hit by dump trucks that derailed an Olympic high-jump trajectory and required him to relearn basic skills, and surviving repeated cancer diagnoses. He explains overcoming depression and homelessness by setting thousands of goals, drawing strength from prayer, his patriarchal blessing, and daily acts of service through scouting. Brandon describes being guided to help others, including saving an injured motorcyclist on I-15 and giving a priesthood blessing to a dying child who later survived. He also tells a story involving meeting the King of Sweden, and discussing the Church with international leaders.
