Summary
What do you do when life falls apart twice in one year? Kim Sorrelle was diagnosed with breast cancer. Four months later, her husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died just six weeks after his diagnosis. In the aftermath, Kim didn’t retreat. She launched a one-year journey to understand what love really means, and what she discovered will stay with you long after the episode ends. This conversation is about radical love, the kind that begins with self-compassion, survives unimaginable loss, and refuses to become bitter. If you've ever felt broken, resentful, or unsure how to open your heart again, Kim offers a new lens. You’ll walk away with: A deeper understanding of what love looks like when no one is giving it back How to serve others without losing yourself Why loving people doesn’t mean staying, fixing, or shrinking The difference between rewriting your story and denying your pain A reminder that you always have the power to choose love, even when it’s hard This episode is for anyone who is grieving, rebuilding, or trying to find meaning in the aftermath of "How the hell did I survive that?" That journey became the heart of her critically acclaimed book Love Is , a raw, deeply human, and often humorous exploration of what it really means to love yourself and others. Known for her compassion, resilience, and contagious optimism, Kim has survived natural disasters, raised five teenagers, and built a legacy of impact through storytelling and service.
