About Laughing After Lemons
Laughing After Lemons was born in the middle of one of the hardest seasons of our lives — our newborn son’s fight with a life-threatening heart condition.
What started as sharing our family’s journey has grown into something much bigger: a place of healing, kindness, and courage for anyone facing life’s lemons.
Today, Laughing After Lemons is more than a story — it’s a movement. A reminder that joy is possible, faith is real, and kindness changes everything.
Meet Kasie
I was a youngin, turning the ripe age of thirteen. I underwent an eight hour plus surgery that was discovered to be thyroid cancer. Cancer: a word a thirteen-year-old girl never expects to hear and definitely does not know how to react to. After that, I rolled right into isolation and my 87-pound body was filled with radioactive iodine to kill the remaining cells. The nurses said the medicine made me ‘glow’ in the dark. It sounded cool back then.
“It’s a good kind of cancer,” the doctor said. All that meant to me was that I was lucky. If they gave me the medicine I would be cured for life, right? Wrong. I didn’t realize the impact it would have on everything to come...forever.

Join Us On Our Journey
What started as our family’s fight through the hardest lemon life handed us has grown into something much bigger — a movement of hope, healing, and joy. Laughing After Lemons is here to remind you: whatever season you’re in, you can make something beautiful from it. Here’s to fresh-squeezed courage, faith, and laughter along the way.
Where We Are Now
Brandon and I now live in a small town just outside of Austin, raising our three beautiful children — Noah, Elodie, and Izabela. Our journey to parenthood was filled with challenges, losses, and faith-stretching moments, but today we are deeply grateful for the family God has blessed us with.
Noah continues to be a daily miracle, thriving after his heart transplant and showing us what true resilience looks like. Elodie and Izabela bring endless laughter, energy, and sweetness to our home — reminding us that joy can always be found, even in the midst of life’s hardest seasons.
While much of our story began with heartbreak, today our lives are focused on creating hope and community. Through Laughing After Lemons, I share my journey of resilience and faith through speaking and writing. With Zestery, our mobile lemonade and event bar, we bring joy to celebrations while giving back to families in need. And through Kindness Healing Kidz, founded back in 2008, we continue walking alongside families with children facing life-threatening illnesses.
This season of life is busy and beautiful, filled with both purpose and healing. We don’t have all the answers, but we know this: God is faithful, and when life gives us lemons — together, we can still make something sweet.
