She went into the hospital pregnant… and woke up weeks later to a baby she’d never met.

In this powerful episode of Angels Among Us, Tess Frame shares her unimaginable story of surviving a coma, sepsis, and organ failure—only to face a new battle she never expected: addiction caused by the very medications that saved her life.

From meeting her newborn for the first time weeks after birth, to enduring withdrawals, night terrors, and overwhelming rage, Tess opens up about the hidden aftermath of trauma and the reality of addiction as “brain damage,” not a choice.

But this is also a story of hope.

Through faith, the 12-step program, therapy, relentless determination, and Heaven sent angels, Tess found healing—and took her life back.

✨ In this episode:

Surviving a near-death pregnancy complication
The emotional trauma of missing your baby’s first month
How medical addiction rewires the brain
What recovery actually looks like
Finding angels in life’s darkest moments

If you or someone you love is struggling, this episode will change how you see addiction—and remind you that healing is always possible.

In this episode of Short Story Wednesday, Brent and Mikaela take a step back from storytelling to share something more personal—what’s been happening behind the scenes and why it matters so much to them.

After receiving an unexpected email from a listener, they reflect on the impact this podcast is having and how small moments of encouragement can mean everything. That one message sparked bigger conversations about the future of the show, including a shift away from ads and a vision to grow something much deeper—a community built on light, connection, and giving back.

They also share exciting news about an upcoming interview connected to the powerful story behind The Cokeville Miracle, and why this story has been on their hearts since the beginning.

To close the episode, Brent and Mikaela get emotional as they celebrate their daughter Reese’s birthday. They reflect on her adoption journey, the miracles that brought her into their lives, and the deep love they have for the little girl who made them parents.

From heartfelt gratitude to powerful faith-filled moments, this episode is a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can be life-changing—and that we are never alone.

In this deeply personal and emotional episode of Angels Among Us, Brent and Mikaela sit down with someone incredibly close to their hearts—Alex.

If you’ve been following along, you heard Heidi’s side of this story last week. Now, Alex shares her perspective—what it was like growing up adopted, navigating relationships with both her adoptive and birth families, and eventually meeting the people she had only known about from a distance.

From childhood curiosity to teenage questions, and finally to a powerful, full-circle moment meeting her entire birth family, Alex opens up about identity, love, and the complexity of belonging to more than one family.

She shares the quiet struggles—wondering where she fit, trying not to hurt anyone, and processing emotions that many adoptees face but don’t always talk about. But more than anything, this episode is about love—the kind that spans years, distance, and circumstances.

Alex also shares touching experiences where she felt guided, protected, and reminded that she was never alone—including a powerful moment on Christmas Day that changed her perspective forever.

This is a story about adoption, faith, identity, and the undeniable truth that we are placed exactly where we’re meant to be.
