Winning the Lottery with Andrew Kimler

What if the most painful year of your life was actually preparing you for the family you were meant to have?

In this episode of GUTS, host Topaz Adizes sits down with Andrew Kimler, Sundance fellow and award-winning creative producer, for a deeply personal conversation about adoption, fatherhood, creativity, and purpose.

After enduring three failed adoptions in a single year, alongside profound personal loss, Andrew reflects on grief, resilience, and what it takes to stay open after repeated heartbreak.

Together, they explore:

- The emotional reality of failed adoptions and how to mourn what almost was

- Why you “can’t get matched with the wrong kid” in the adoption journey

- What patience really means and how to use the waiting season well

- The difference between what a story is about and what it’s really about

- How creativity, writing, and fatherhood reveal your deeper purpose
