The Hero Within Karen Hall

Send us a text

Hi!
I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast.
Today, in Part 2, we hear from my good friend Kristina Driscoll, who graduated from Pacific Lutheran University and worked as a financial advisor in pension consulting. She shares with us her journey of overcoming the obstacles in her life, such as raising her young son while caring for her husband with early onset Alzheimers and supporting their family. She navigated her challenges with optimism and faith.
If you haven't heard Part 1, you'll want to hear about her early years and the experiences that shaped her and built her faith and optimism.

In today's episode, you will learn:
*How Kristina helped her young son deal with his father's memory loss and deterioration with Alzheimers in age appropriate ways.
*The role Kristina's father played in her son's life and how he shared his own story of resilience to reassure his grandson.
*How Kristina dealt with her fears as a single parent, especially when she discovered she might have cancer, and what if she died, leaving her son with no parent?

*How Kristina gained comfort from her father's prayers and through prayer with her surgeon, plus her skiing miracle.

*What Kristina learned about grief and asking for help.
*The peace Kristina was given as she trusted God.
*Kristina was true to herself and her values, choosing her highest priorities.
*Her greatest success and living without regret.
How have you gained peace in your trials?
