What would you do if the love of your life was taken too soon?
In this deeply emotional episode, I sit down with Pete Rendina, a husband, father, and author whose world turned upside down when his wife, Kylie, passed away in April 2024 after a relentless battle with cancer. Pete flew in from Michigan to join me in person and share a story that broke me… and will likely break you too.
We talk about love, loss, and legacy. About raising kids as a single dad. About the fear of goodbye and the promises whispered at a hospital bedside. And we talk about God, because it’s Pete’s faith that’s holding him together.
Pete doesn’t sugarcoat the pain. He opens up about the dark nights, the signs he sees from Kylie, the moments with his kids that keep him going, and how writing and faith are helping him rebuild.
Whether you're grieving, healing, or just need a reminder of what truly matters, this one will stay with you.
