In this episode, hosts Heath and Josh sit down with their friend Hannah Helmke to unpack a Christmas Eve she and her family will never forget.

Late at night on Christmas Eve, lightning struck Hannah’s family home, instantly turning what should have been a peaceful holiday into a traumatic emergency. Hannah walks listeners through the terrifying moments as the strike tore through the house—describing the chaos, fear, and disbelief as her family scrambled to make sense of what had just happened while the night (and the holiday) unraveled around them.

But the disaster didn’t end once the storm passed. Much of the episode focuses on the long, exhausting aftermath: months of displacement, uncertainty, and the seemingly endless battle with insurance companies. Hannah candidly shares the “second nightmare” of the experience—navigating claims, delays, confusing paperwork, and constant setbacks while trying to get her family’s home repaired and livable again.

Heath and Josh balance the heavy subject matter with empathy, humor, and moments of reflection, while also asking the questions listeners are thinking.

The episode is a powerful reminder that surviving the disaster is sometimes only the beginning, and that the road back to “normal” can be far more difficult than anyone expects.

In this episode, hosts Heath and Josh sit down with music artist Jen Korte, better known as Lady Gang, for an honest and inspiring conversation about choosing an unconventional life driven by creativity, nature, and self-truth.

Jen opens up about her personal journey through music and why the traditional workforce never felt aligned with who she is. Rather than following a prescribed path, she shares how being immersed in nature is essential to her well-being and creative process—writing and making music not for trends or approval, but as a way to feel grounded, alive, and whole.

The conversation flows from her soulful life in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, where ocean energy fuels her spirit, to the stark beauty of the New Mexico desert, a place she returns to for solitude, reflection, and deep musical inspiration.

Heath and Josh also dive into why Lady Gang’s music defies categorization. Too raw and real for mainstream labels, her sound exists outside traditional genres—authentic, emotionally rich, and unmistakably her own.

Bryan shares how he originally set out to become a lawyer—or even a law professor—before a spontaneous decision to write a script and enter it in a contest changed the course of his life.
