What happens when the life you dreamed of falls apart, and the one you end up with looks nothing like you imagined? Allison Trice's powerful testimony reveals the unexpected joy she discovered in the midst of heartbreak, single motherhood, and raising a child with special needs.

After two failed relationships left her feeling broken and ashamed, Allison found herself a single mother to a son with a rare chromosomal deletion. Drowning in medical bills, battling financial hardship, and facing an uncertain future, she reached her darkest moments hiding in her bathroom to cry after putting her son to bed.

But everything changed when Allison made a profound choice – to own her part in her pain rather than simply blame those who hurt her. This shift from victim mentality to personal responsibility opened the door for deep healing and transformation. Through powerful prayer encounters, God removed her shame and gave her a promise that her nonverbal son would one day have "a mighty voice."

The miracle in Allison's story isn't that her circumstances magically improved. In fact, she continued to face tremendous challenges, including the pandemic isolation as a single special needs parent and the sudden loss of her mother. The true miracle is what happened inside her – a profound contentment that defies logical explanation.

"If anyone had ever told me that I would be a single mom in my 40s, raising a special needs child alone, and happier than I'd ever been, I would never have believed them," Allison shares in the moment that defines her journey from victim to victor.

Today, Allison ministers to others through teaching, supporting special needs families, and even speaking at marriage conferences – a testament to her complete healing. And her son, though not speaking conventionally, truly has found his voice through assistive technology, fulfilling God's promise in unexpected ways.

This episode challenges our cultural obsession with perfect circumstances and reminds us that true joy comes not from getting the life we thought we wanted, but from embracing the one we have with gratitude, purpose, and faith. Listen now and discover how you too can move from victim to victor, regardless of your circumstances.
