This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist reconnects with former QVC host Albany Irvin nearly a decade after their last meeting for an honest and heartfelt conversation about stepping away from television, rebuilding life after divorce, protecting her children, and trusting God through uncertainty.

Albany opens up about her decision to leave QVC at 44 without a new job, a finalized custody agreement, or a clear plan for where she would live. She shares how ovarian cancer, multiple surgeries, a shattered tibia, a frightening situation involving her daughter, and years of intense television schedules led her to question whether God was guiding her in a new direction.

She also reflects on the pivotal moment that shaped her faith. After a serious car accident at age 16, Albany, her mother, and her sister were taken in by strangers for nearly a month. That act of kindness taught her to trust that God would provide, even when circumstances seemed uncertain.

Kerstin and Albany also dive into topics like severe scoliosis, staying active, menopause, muscle loss, protein intake, bone broth, traveling with healthy food, becoming an empty nester, and reinventing life after 50. Albany shares why walking, Pilates, Bible study, and reshaping her inner dialogue have become essential to her well-being.
