A lifetime of achievements and being in the spotlight changed overnight to Trauma and hiding for KD, formally Kristen Youmans. After being crowned Miss Wyoming and going on to be a big station Newscaster KD could have never predicted what curveball would be thrown at her: she helps us all with how to hit one for a home run. I know she loves baseball so I had to use that analogy. 🙂 Our pain has to have purpose and her words of Wisdom will help you saddle up and ride again! 
Also, she let me wear her Miss Wyoming crown and banner and I'm not going to lie…it was fun! Please check out her website at https://www.thedeepend.org/

Mary Fichtner Podcaster

Growing up in the Western culture and being the wife of a soldier and mother of four has gifted me with faith, independence, resilience, and conviction. I have a passion for writing and storytelling because I believe storytelling is the most powerful tool we have for learning and growing as an individual. It has been my mission for the last seven years to write Western Children's books with life lessons and over the last two I discovered podcasts and felt called to share stories of brave women who have overcome huge obstacles to live their best lives.
