Episode 10- From the ER to the Iditarod: A Nurse's Story of Grit, Grace & Going the Distance

In this powerful and inspiring episode, Mindie sits down with fellow Arkansas native and ER nurse Bridgett Watkins, author of Marker to Marker. Bridgett’s story is one of extraordinary resilience — from navigating trauma and motherhood to finding healing through faith, endurance, and the courage to keep moving forward.

Raised in a family of championship mushers who raced the Iditarod, Bridgett learned early that survival isn’t about speed — it’s about perseverance, checkpoint by checkpoint, marker by marker. Now, she brings that same mindset to both her life in emergency medicine and her own journey of restoration.

Together, Mindie and Bridgett explore what it means to run the race of life with grit, grace, and a heart that refuses to quit — even when the trail gets rough.

Because sometimes healing isn’t found in the finish line…It’s found in the strength to keep going.
