Sometimes, life writes love stories so unexpected, you couldn’t make them up if you tried.
Today’s guests, Jennie and Bryan Drollinger, know precisely what it means to become lost and then, against all odds, be found. 

Years ago, Bryan and Jennie were young, in love, and full of possibility. But like so many couples, life had other plans. At a time where dating was limited to in person communication and catching someone at the right time on a land line, a few simple misses turned into misunderstandings. Bryan followed his path as a devout Mormon, got married, raised a family of seven, and built a successful career. Jenny married and settled into a marriage that blessed her with two beautiful children, yet there was an absence of that loving feeling she once dreamed of. Life brought challenges for both of them, including failed expectations, and the deep struggle of holding it all together, especially when marriage is intertwined with faith, community, and awareness that their lives were being spent more on the worst side, for better or worse..

Then came the unthinkable. Bryan’s marriage ended, leaving him in one of the most challenging spaces of his life, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Simultaneously, as fate would have it, Jenny’s marriage was ending as well, facing her own heartbreaks and growing pains.

And then, the universe intervened. A random reconnection occurred when Bryan, needing an attorney, found himself seeking a consultation with the firm's paralegal. Her name? Jenny..
Sparks fared, and a realization that both of their winding, messy, painful roads had prepared them for this: a second chance at the love they once shared.

Now, through their new podcast A Second Chance on Love, and upcoming book made for a movie, Bryan and Jennie are opening up about their journey, their lessons, and their hope for anyone who’s wondering if it’s too late to rewrite their love story.
