A Table for Two with Michaela Belle

On today's episode Michaela interviews Rebekah Farley.  Rebekah is a plus size model and is known for her beautiful face on QVC but her life off of the set is about being a wife and mom to two kiddos.  Life changed the moment her sweet baby girl was born and then really changed when she found out she has Cystic Fibrosis.  Rebekah has some amazing life lessons to share and together they have worked alongside of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to raise awareness and money to find a cure for this disease.  

The hope is that this episode can bring awareness of what CF is but also allow you to have a new perspective on life and an appreciation for health. Madelynn is a rockstar and so is her momma!  We celebrate them both! 

Welcome to the table!  We would love to see our community show up for CF so you can donate to the CF Foundation https://www.cff.org/give-monthly/
