  • Michelle Valiukenas — founder of the The Colette Louise Tisdahl Foundation and mother to Sweet Pea, Colette, and Elliott. Michelle’s story begins with what she believed would be a typical pregnancy. Instead, at just 21 weeks pregnant, she was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and hospitalized immediately. Three weeks later, her daughter Colette was born at 24 weeks and 5 days and spent nine days in the NICU before Michelle and her husband lost her.

  • There’s something about the love of a dog that feels both simple and profound. It grounds us, meets us where we are, and reminds us—often in the quietest ways—what connection really looks like. In this episode of Hope Comes to Visit, Danielle sits down with author and speaker Jean Alfieri, whose life and work are rooted in a deep love for dogs—especially those who need it most. From rescue stories to the heartbreak of loss, Jean shares what it means to open your heart again and again, even knowing how the story will end.

  • In this episode of Hope Comes to Visit, I sit down with comedian Kelly MacFarland for a conversation that is both deeply honest and unexpectedly light. Kelly shares her journey through grief, growth, and rediscovery—and how humor became both a bridge and a release along the way.

  • This week on Hope Comes to Visit, I sit down with Kelly Karavousanos — a licensed professional counselor, certified thanatologist, licensed funeral director, and someone who has personally helped guide me through some of the darkest grief of my life. Kelly understands grief not just as a clinician, but as a human being who has lived through profound loss herself. In this conversation, we talk about what grief really asks of us, why our culture is so uncomfortable with death and dying, and how healing happens not by avoiding pain — but by moving through it.
