In collaboration with South Dakota’s celebrated 4Front Studios, Isn’t it Lovely? is thrilled to introduce its very first long-form audio and video episode featuring the endlessly inspiring Amos and Heather Kittelson as they share their love story and journey of breaking generational trauma to find hope and healing from addiction. With sensitivity and care, Amos and Heather recreate the morning Heather decided to take her life after battling postpartum depression and alcoholism - and what prompted Amos to return to their home to help her fight for her life. With tremendous empathy and a compassionate desire to combat shame and stigma, Amos and Heather use their testimony to encourage a life playbook that includes education, awareness, boundaries, guardrails, and recognition of the value of life created by a loving God. Tracy and Rachel are moved to tears for much of the episode, pausing only to delight in the pink lighting and set design generously provided by 4Front, while also requesting that Amos and Heather record daily personal messages under the moniker Kindness with the Kittelsons. Heather embraces the blessing of her experiences as a platform to help others; the three women decide to take an Amos-free road trip to celebrate their newfound friendship.Heather Kittelson Instagram: @heatherkittelsonHeather Kittelson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heather.sanowRedemption Artistry Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/redemptionartistrySidewalk Technologies Website: https://www.sidewalktech.com/Sidewalk Technologies Instagram: @sidewalktechnologiesSidewalk Technologies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SidewalkTech4FrontStudios Website: https://4frontstudios.com/4Front Studios Instagram: @4frontstudios4Front Studios Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/4FrontSF/Isn’t it Lovely?
