Listeners will instantly love our guest today Stephanie Hockersmith, a viral sensation beloved by thousands and known as Pie Lady Books on Instagram and other social media. Stephanie is a Mom, wife, and booklover and she was diagnosed over a decade ago with Celiac Disease, with neurological implications that put her in a wheelchair. At that time looking for solace and healing, she turned to her two favorite things: reading and gluten free baking. Today she is beloved by authors and readers and the media for her incredible pie art. Recently, Stephanie Hockersmith posted a moving Reel on Instagram telling her followers about her heath journey and how she took her therapeutic pastime and healed herself in the process.
