Sometimes life brings people into your path in ways that feel nothing short of divine and that is the case for today’s guests. I’ll never forget when I first heard about Katy Coski. Her sister, Karley reached out to me over social media, telling me that it sounded like her sister was going through exactly what I had been through.

I was stunned to learn that not only did Karlee live in Salem and work out at the same gym as me but her sister Katy who lives in Alaska was now being treated at the exact same hospital I was in being cared for by the same physicians and battling the same illness. A the time I had yet to meet anyone in person who had experienced something like me and I was just so shocked to realize someone working out next to me in the same gym had a sister going through it all. 

So today is Part 1 of a 2-part series where you’ll get to hear from Katy and her husband, Aaron. In this first episode, you’ll hear mostly from Aaron as he pieces together the events of those critical days while Katy was in a medically induced coma. Katy doesn’t remember much from that time—but she will share some profoundly intimate and deeply spiritual moments that she vividly remembers.

In two weeks during part 2 they take us through her incredible heart transplant journey. You won’t want to miss it.
