In part two of this deeply emotional and inspiring Champagne Problems conversation, host Robbie Shaw reunites with author, advocate, and endurance athlete Laura King Edwards to continue exploring her remarkable story. From battling depression in college to losing her sister Taylor to Batten disease, Laura reflects on the moments that shaped her resilience—and the ones that nearly broke her. This episode dives into the convergence of life and loss as Laura gives birth to her son just days before saying goodbye to her sister. She shares the origin of her book Run to the Light, her bold blindfolded half-marathon challenges (including an attempt at a world record), and how Taylor’s life—and death—taught her to truly live. With powerful insight on grief, purpose, and choosing joy despite pain, Laura offers listeners a vivid reminder: we can all do hard things—and grow stronger in the process.
