Episode Synopsis

What makes someone pack up their Ford Escort, grab their sled dog, and drive solo to Alaska without ever having set foot there? Faith. Grit. In this unforgettable episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow writer Cathy Brooks, an Alaskan author who has lived an extraordinary life—from dairy farm roots in rural Pennsylvania to off-the-grid wilderness living with babies and 25 sled dogs (yes, really). Her story is full of courage, hardship, and the unmistakable faithfulness of God.We talk about:What it’s really like to live in interior AlaskaThe spiritual strength it takes to endure isolationHearing the sound of the Northern LightsRaising babies in the wildernessThe historical wounds of the Church in Alaska—and the hope of healingWhy processing pain matters—and how her book Sirens helps others beginWhether you're navigating a wilderness of your own or simply curious what it looks like to live an our-of-the-ordinary life, Cathy’s story will move you deeply.Resources & Links:📚 Sirens by Kathy Brooks → [Sirens]💻 Kathy’s website: www.write22.comMeet SusanHi!
