In this episode, we’re joined by the remarkable Alma Collins Thomas, a true testament to the strength of the human spirit. Alma’s journey is one of incredible resilience, facing overwhelming adversity and coming out stronger on the other side. From a devastating personal loss to surviving a massive stroke, Alma has experienced challenges that would stop many in their tracks. Yet, through it all, she has continued to inspire others, even from her hospital bed.

Alma’s story begins with the unimaginable loss of her son, Tysean, in 2009, a heartbreaking event that sparked her passion for storytelling. She channeled this grief into her two powerful books, Dream Killers and From the Waiting Room to the Recovery Room, which offer both a window into her journey and a roadmap for others facing adversity. But Alma’s trials didn’t stop there—she also faced a devastating fire that left her temporarily homeless, a difficult divorce, and financial struggles linked to her husband’s battle with substance abuse.

Then, just a few years ago, Alma suffered a debilitating stroke that left her right side paralyzed. But even in the midst of this battle, Alma refused to give up. Rather than letting the stroke define her, she found renewed purpose in helping others overcome their own challenges. Alma shares her belief in the power of resilience, advocating for the importance of perseverance, embracing what we can’t control, and recognizing our inner strengths.

In this deeply inspiring episode, Alma talks about her experiences as an ordained minister, educator, motivational speaker, and author. She shares how she continues to motivate others from her hospital bed and why she’s dedicated to helping others push through life’s most difficult circumstances. If you’re looking for motivation, strength, and a story that proves we can overcome anything, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
