Welcome to Facing the Storm, a podcast about resilience, courage, and overcoming life’s toughest challenges. Inspired by the buffalo of the Rocky Mountains, who charge straight into storms rather than running from them, we explore how to navigate life’s struggles with strength. These mighty creatures may get battered, but by facing the storm, they shorten their suffering and emerge stronger. That’s the mindset we take here at Facing the Storm—whether it’s personal loss, difficult relationships, or pursuing big dreams, facing challenges head-on prepares us for whatever comes next.

Casseroles & Conversations: Real Talk After the Storm with Kota & Kal
<p>Starting this podcast has been a wild ride—and honestly, a bit of a cup-filler for me. Kind of like making your first tuna casserole and realizing that yes, cheese and cream of mushroom soup can fix almost anything. </p><p>In this episode, I’m joined by the amazing Dakota Dawn Johnson as guest host. We’re throwing out the rulebook and leaning into real, unscripted conversation—because that’s where the magic happens.</p><p>Dakota and I chat about the power of sharing our stories from a scar rather than an open wound, and how being totally ourselves helps us connect with listeners on a deeper level. We’re all about keeping it honest and heartfelt.</p><p>I also open up about a pretty big shift in my life—going through a divorce. It wasn’t easy, but those tough moments taught me a lot about resilience, forgiveness, and personal growth. By sharing stories from that time, my hope is that they remind others they’re not alone—that whatever storm you’re facing, there’s strength in walking through it together</p><p>Therapy has played a huge role in my journey, too. I talk about what it’s like to find the right therapist (spoiler: it’s kind of like dating) and why it’s totally okay to keep looking until it feels like a good match. Dakota shares her own wisdom and encouragement, and she’s all about inviting feedback—whether it’s guest ideas, topics you’d like me to cover, or just to say hey.</p><p>******************************************************</p><p>Instagram:</p><p>@facingthestormpodcast</p><p>Facebook:</p><p>@facingthestormpodcast</p><p>******************************************************</p><p>Thank you for joining me for another episode and braving the storm together.

Confronting Adversity: Sharon Beach's Inspirational Story of Survival and Gratitude After Sexual Assault
<p>Life has a way of throwing storms our way, and in this episode, we sit down with someone who’s faced them all head-on—Sharon Beach from Weatherford, Texas. Sharon has a deep love for cutting horses and is actively involved with the National Cutting Horse Association, but it’s her strength and honesty that truly shine through. She opens up about surviving a traumatic kidnapping and sexual assault—experiences that led to long-term health struggles—and how she found the courage to keep moving forward.</p><p>Through it all, Sharon leans on faith, gratitude, and the power of community. We talk about how being surrounded by people who genuinely care can make all the difference. Whether it was the strength she found through prayer during a difficult hospital stay or the healing that came with forgiveness, her story is filled with raw moments and real wisdom.</p><p>This episode isn’t just about surviving—it’s about growing through the hard stuff and finding gratitude in what life teaches us along the way. Sharon’s journey is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest times, there’s strength to be found—and sometimes, even a little humor (yes, there’s a broken leg story too). Tune in for an honest, uplifting conversation that might just change the way you see your own storms.</p><p>******************************************************</p><p>Instagram:</p><p>@facingthestormpodcast</p><p>Facebook:</p><p>@facingthestormpodcast</p><p>******************************************************</p><p>Thank you for joining me for another episode and braving the storm together.
