Ainsley Earhardt Opens Up About Life, Faith, and Loss in Her Memoir “The Light Within Me”
Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt has captivated audiences with her warmth, intelligence, and ability to connect with people on a personal level. In her memoir, The Light Within Me, she opens up about her life, faith, and the personal struggles that have shaped her journey. The book is not just a story of success, but an intimate account of resilience, spirituality, and hope.
A Personal Journey of Faith and Resilience
Earhardt’s memoir is deeply rooted in her faith. She shares how her Christian beliefs have guided her through life’s highs and lows, offering a source of strength during her most challenging times. One of the most heartbreaking moments she recounts in The Light Within Me is her miscarriage while carrying her first baby. The experience was a profound loss for her and her family, one that left them heartbroken.
“We heard the heartbeat, we told family, we were so excited,” she recalls in an interview with Meghan Alexander. “We went back for the next visit, and there wasn’t a heartbeat. We saw our baby on the screen, and there was no heartbeat. Our hearts were ripped out.”
This devastating loss was especially difficult because the baby would have been the first grandchild on both sides of the family. The anticipation and excitement of welcoming a new life quickly turned into grief. However, despite this painful experience, Earhardt found solace in her faith. She credits her relationship with God for helping her through the pain and uncertainty.
A Miracle Named Hayden
After the tragedy of her miscarriage, Earhardt’s prayers for a child were eventually answered. She later gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Hayden, who is now two and a half years old. “We wanted her for so long, and finally, we got our little blessing,” she says.
Her journey to motherhood was not easy, but it strengthened her appreciation for the miracle of life. Earhardt’s story resonates with many women who have faced similar struggles with pregnancy loss. She hopes her openness will provide comfort to others who have experienced the same heartbreak, reminding them that they are not alone.
A Book of Honesty and Encouragement
While The Light Within Me shares Earhardt’s experiences as a journalist and television personality, she makes it clear that her book is not about portraying a picture-perfect life. “This is not a book about ‘Hey, I am on national television and I’ve done everything right and I’m perfect and this is what you should do,’” she explains. “These were my thoughts, these are the times I fell down, and how God got me back up.”
Through her writing, Earhardt hopes to inspire readers by showing them that faith can be a guiding light through adversity. She acknowledges that life is full of setbacks, but she encourages people to lean on their spirituality and trust in God’s plan.

Ainsley Earhardt shared the ups and downs of her journey to motherhood in a new faith-based short film.
The “Fox & Friends” host sat down with “I Am Second,” a Christian non-profit that shares stories from influencers on their faith, to talk about her story around Mother’s Day as part of its “White Chair Film” series.
Earhardt, who grew up in Spartanburg, S.C., said she became a Christian at 21 and dreamed about being on television since she was young. When she finally achieved that dream, as an anchor on Fox News Channel, she felt like it was time to have kids.
But her road to motherhood was not easy.
“I get kind of emotional in there because I talked about my miscarriage. But God blessed me so much after that miscarriage cause then I got pregnant with Hayden a few months later, so I wouldn’t have Hayden if it weren’t for that,” she said about the clip.
She looks forward to meeting the child she miscarried in heaven someday but until then she is enjoying life with Hayden and hopes her story can help encourage others.
“If you’re going through a hard time or if you’ve experienced a miscarriage,” Earhardt said, “so many women have come up to me and said they went through the same thing and they never wanted to talk about it, so I hope my journey can help you and that you can find God in my life.”
