In this episode of Arise I sit down with my sweet friend, heart and medical mama Kasie Marek. Kasie has faced unimaginable trials, from surviving a house fire and battling cancer as a young child to now navigating her son's journey through two open-heart surgeries and a heart transplant. In this Q&A, Kasie shares her experiences, insights, and the challenges of finding God's presence in the midst of heartache. https://www.laughingafterlemons.com/ https://www.organdonor.gov/
