Surviving the Montecito Mudslide

Kim Cantin endured one of the most devastating natural disasters in recent U.S. history, the 2018 Montecito mudslides. That tragedy claimed the lives of 23 people, including her beloved husband and son, and left her daughter miraculously rescued after being buried alive. Out of that unimaginable loss, Kim emerged with an unwavering commitment not just to survive—but to heal, to love, and to inspire. She joins Irene Weinberg to share how this life-altering tragedy taught her what it means to accept help, lean into vulnerability, and cherish the love that never dies, which she discusses in her award-winning book “Where Yellow Flowers Bloom.”
