Transformation Is Rarely Fun
Season 6 Episode 8
As I prepared for my upcoming TED Talk, I realized the message I couldn’t shake was resilience. Not the easy kind we talk about in hindsight, but the real, raw kind that comes when life shatters your plans and leaves you with no choice but to dig deep.I open my heart about divorce, infidelity, financial struggle, and the mistakes I made along the way. I also share how faith, prayer, and the kindness of others carried me when I thought I couldn’t make it! Through every heartbreak and setback, I’ve learned that resilience is fully about trusting God to turn even the hardest seasons into a foundation for growth, strength, and compassion. I hope that this story reminds you that no matter what you’re facing, you are stronger than you think, and your next chapter can be more beautiful than you ever imagined.
