This podcast episode features Ben and Megan Russell sharing their journey through multiple devastating challenges in their early marriage. Three weeks after their 2019 wedding, Megan’s sister died suddenly from a brain aneurysm, followed by a pregnancy during COVID isolation, where Megan hemorrhaged after delivery and nearly died. Their greatest challenge came when their daughter, Brooklyn, was diagnosed at just eight weeks old with a softball-sized brain tumor that required emergency surgery, partial brain removal, and chemotherapy. Yet today, Brooklyn is thriving as a resilient four-year-old. Throughout these trials, the couple demonstrates remarkable partnership and resilience, emphasizing the importance of leaning on community support, maintaining open communication, and choosing to fight through adversity together rather than letting it divide them.
