I started to think back to the hand that was on me in the library and how, in the very worst, most horrific, terrifying moment of my life, that hand brought a peace and a knowing that, whether I lived or died, I was going to be okay.
Imagine being a shy teenager thrust into one of the most horrific events in modern history. In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance chats with Kacey Ruegsegger Johnson, a survivor of the Columbine High School shooting. At just 17, Kacey faced unimaginable terror on April 20, 1999, when two gunmen entered her school, forever changing her life. Despite the physical and emotional scars, Kacey refused to let that day define her future.
She opens up about her journey from living in constant fear to reclaiming her life and finding strength in her family and community. Now, over two decades later, Kacey is a beacon of hope, sharing her story to inspire others and break the stigma surrounding trauma and mental health. Her resilience shines through as she talks about marrying the love of her life, raising four children, and writing an uplifting autobiography.
Kacey's message is clear: our greatest challenges can become our greatest strengths. Tune in to hear how she transformed adversity into a powerful message of hope and purpose.
