What if the challenges you face could be reframed into stories of love, resilience, and belonging?


In this episode, Brigitte Cutshall speaks with Kathi Lockwood, author, minister, and mother, whose incredible journey of turning personal pain into powerful stories inspires connection and healing.


Kathi’s life is a testament to resilience. From adopting her son through what she calls “divine intervention” to losing her husband unexpectedly and becoming a single parent, she has faced profound challenges with grace and purpose.


As an author of three children’s books, Kathi weaves her experiences into narratives that address adoption, addiction, and grief, helping families navigate these complex topics with love, compassion, and understanding. Takeaways:

  • The Power of Stories: Kathi shares how her children's books tackle sensitive topics like adoption, loss, and addiction, helping children and adults navigate difficult emotions with compassion and understanding.
  • Resilience Through Wonder: Learn how Kathi's personal experiences, including the sudden loss of her husband and her spiritual journey, have shaped her belief in the enduring power of love and connection.
  • Shifting Paradigms: Explore how reframing narratives—like viewing adoption as a divine delivery rather than abandonment—can alleviate trauma and instill a sense of belonging.
  • Light Within Us: Insights on how spiritual traditions and personal experiences highlight the inner light we all carry, offering strength and resilience.
