When you’ve walked through unimaginable loss, finding your way back to faith can feel impossible.

In this episode, Known Through Connection host Jess Collicott sits down with Angie Hansen, founder of Butterflies & Halos, whose story embodies grace through grief.

In this special episode, the spotlight turns inward. Host Jess Collicott shares pieces of his own journey through a year marked by disruption, loss, and rebuilding.

With honesty and care, Jess opens up about moments that tested his health, faith, and identity, and the unexpected ways God, family, and community have carried him forward.

This is not a story of perfection. It is a story of resilience, love, and presence in the middle of pain. It is an invitation to sit with the hard, to honor the process of becoming, and to remember that connection has the power to heal and restore.

If you have ever wondered how to keep going when life unravels, Jess’s story will meet you there.
