## Resource

One conversation can change the direction of a life. Ainsley Earhardt joins Ginny Yurich to share the unlikely path that took her from a South Carolina girl who almost became an orthodontist to one of the most recognizable faces in television. Along the way, she talks about the teachers who shaped her, the risks she took, the doors that closed, the prayers that were answered, and the seasons when she had no choice but to trust that God was still writing the story. This is a conversation about calling, perseverance, childhood wonder, faith in the waiting, and why the life you imagined at 18 is often not the life you were meant to live. Ainsley also shares stories from her newest children's book, America, I'm So Glad You Were Born, and reflects on the people, places, and moments that helped make her who she is today.
