Summary

When the earthquake hit, I was in the shower. Fifteen seconds of violent shaking, fifteen seconds of relief… and then panic. Was my wife safe? What followed was a desperate race home through steep hills and broken roads, and into a moment that changed my marriage, my mindset, and my definition of resilience forever. In this episode, I share my true earthquake survival story — not just about escaping danger, but about how one terrifying day became the foundation for a stronger, more connected relationship. You’ll hear how we turned a life-threatening disaster into a lifelong reminder that if we could survive that , we could survive almost anything. What you’ll learn in this episode: How a sudden crisis changes the way you see your partner and your priorities Why survival stories are powerful tools for encouragement How to use your own moments of adversity to strengthen your resilience The mindset shift that makes everyday problems feel smaller If you’ve ever faced hardship, fear, or loss — and come out stronger — this conversation will resonate.
