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.

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.

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.
