Jessica Buchanan was a schoolteacher from Ohio who followed a calling to serve overseas. That calling led her to East Africa, meaningful humanitarian work, and eventually into one of the most terrifying experiences imaginable. Jessica shares the full story of how she was kidnapped in Somalia, held hostage in the desert for 93 days, and ultimately rescued by SEAL Team Six. She opens up about the moments leading up to her capture, the role intuition tried to play, what captivity was really like, and how she survived mentally when survival felt impossible.

We also talk about the aftermath from PTSD, rebuilding identity, motherhood, faith, and what it means to “survive survival.”

Braden is officially back, but this time as my fiancé. 🤍 We are sharing the entire engagement story from both perspectives: designing the ring, coordinating the surprise with my family, the chaos leading up to the proposal at Botanica… and yes, the peacoat that almost caused our biggest fight right before he proposed.

From the moment he asked my dad for permission to the exact words he planned to say on one knee, nothing is left out. Braden shares the ring details including the story he was trying to tell with the hidden halo meaning, why the Christmas scene felt right, and Remi's very on-brand reaction to her permanent dad.

The Proposal 💍 (And the Peacoat That Almost Ruined It)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/01681258-aaac-4116-87d0-b3cf018430d6/transcript

From growing up without modern technology to teaching English, raising children, exploring archaeology, flying planes, riding motorcycles, and living alone on the land she loves for over three decades, my 87-year-old Grandma Bernie reflects on the choices that shaped her life and the lessons she’s still learning.

I sit down with her on the Kansas farm she’s called home for decades. What unfolds is an honest, curious, and adventurous conversation about independence, love, regret, science, nature, and what it really means to live a full life. This episode is all about resilience, questioning what we think we know and some of the most powerful advice you may hear today "don't hate. grab life and go!"
