In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Sander and Ryan T. Reichert—two lives who knew that sometimes, the most painful endings lead to the most powerful beginnings.

Their lives are marked by divorce, addiction, and deep loss— but they found healing in faith and in each other. Lisa, a devoted Christian nurse and coach, and Ryan, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and recovering addict, share how their brokenness became the foundation for something bigger: purpose. They now help others heal through coaching, speaking, and retreats. They offer real hope to those navigating trauma, faith, and new beginnings.

Ryan T. Reichert is a born-again Christian, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, and servant leader whose life is a testimony of redemption and purpose. With 23 years of military service, including four combat deployments, and a career in corporate leadership, Ryan brings deep insight into resilience and transformation. As a recovering alcoholic and addict, his journey is marked by brokenness healed through faith. He now dedicates his life to guiding others toward hope and new beginnings. Wherever God leads, Ryan follows with a heart committed to service and lasting impact.
