Best selling author, producer, mother, and wife Kennedy Ryan joins KevOnStage for a powerful and honest conversation about some of her Not My Best Moments, including a touching family setback that helped shape her journey.

Kennedy opens up about seasons where life did not go according to plan, from her and her husband falling on hard times and losing both of their cars, to co-founding LIFT 4 Autism, to landing her first book deal at 40 years old. Yes, 40.

Not everyone receives the answers they want from God, but this episode is a reminder that God will always provide the right direction and support to help you through hard times. What God has planned for you will always be for you.
