Episode 1: Turning Pain into Purpose with David Drier | Yes We Can Podcast
Welcome to the very first episode of the "Yes We Can" podcast! 🎙️ Hosted by Kira Andersen, this podcast is all about finding hope, resilience, and purpose in the face of life's toughest challenges. In this debut episode, Kira sits down with her dear friend, David Drier, to discuss their shared experiences with loss and their commitment to making a difference.
David, fresh from a transformative family trip to Tanzania, shares incredible stories from his safari adventure, including an up-close encounter with a pride of lions. But beyond the awe-inspiring moments with nature, David opens up about the profound loss of his daughter, Victoria Rose Dreyer, to cancer, and how today would have been her 34th birthday.
Kira and David delve into their personal journeys of grief and resilience, reflecting on the passing of Kira's husband, Kyle, to stage four pancreatic cancer, and how they both found strength in turning their pain into purpose. Together, they discuss their efforts in funding cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children's Hospital, aiming to bring hope and healing to others.
