In today’s episode, we’re joined by Elizabeth Smart — and her story is one of both unimaginable hardship and incredible hope.

After being kidnapped at 14 and held captive for nine months, Elizabeth has gone on to build a beautiful life — as a wife, a mother, and a powerful advocate for survivors.

We talk about what healing has looked like for her, how she learned to move forward after trauma, and what it’s been like to find love and create a family of her own.

We also dive into what fuels her advocacy, the impact she hopes to make, and her perspective on forgiveness.

Having a miscarriage at 17 weeks pregnant

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 07:01:00 -0000

It is with very heavy hearts that we share about the loss of our baby girl born far too soon. At a routine pregnancy appointment, our doctor could not find a heartbeat. Shortly after they sent us in for an ultrasound where the technician said words we will never forget, “I am so sorry I do not have good news.” That is when we got the gender reveal we never hoped for and also the news that our baby had a genetic condition that took her life around 17 weeks gestation. The news felt unimaginable. The grief is absolutely devastating. But we feel so much gratitude for the time that we did get to have with her. And we still have hope. Hope has continued to show up for us in so many ways. For now we will grieve and continue to think of ways to honor her life offline. Thoughts and prayers are more than welcome. Thank you everyone for celebrating this precious life with us for the past 17 weeks.❤️
