Stephanie Parrish started the Vitality Health Show, Hope and Healing on the Voice America Network, two years ago. Hosting on the international platform has been such a blessing. She started out interviewing Doctors and Health Practitioners and amazing people in the Holistic Health and Wellness circles as well as people that have been helped with holistic methods. She interviewed people from all over the United States and that moved into interviewing people from all over the world. She felt very blessed to be meeting and learning from the best of the best. July of 2021 Stephanie interviewed a guest named Doug Crockett. His show was on miracles and recognizing them, It was called Miracles: When Heaven Touches Earth. It can be found on YouTube and all social media outlets. Stephanie was so impressed and touched by that show that she invited Doug to visit about collaborating together. Within a few weeks Doug was sitting in Idaho with Stephanie and her husband Ken. Making plans for the new show. The changes that would be made and about adding Miracles to the title. The intention was to begin the new show right on the heals of Stephanie's current show. However, Stephanie's life took a dramatic turn when her dear husband Ken became suddenly ill. Within a week he passed away. Stephanie's life was in a crazy spin. Doug was there to help with this new transition. He and his wife Heidi were so supportive. Ken was always by Stephanie's side and helped with all of the production. Now she was alone to navigate life and the show. They both decided the Show Must Go On. Within 2 weeks they were back on the air. Stephanie trying to keep her emotions in tact the best she could and Doug co-hosting on his first International Radio Program. Miracles happened that day and off they went. This week they are celebrating 100 episodes of Vitality Health Show. 2 years of amazing interviews and new friends, and friends that have been with them for a long time.
