This weeks episode features Wendy Wallace- Wendy is a wife, mom, Memaw, Christian Living coach, Inspirational blogger, digital product creator, and author. She is also a quadruple amputee.

A flesh-eating bacterial infection resulted in a coma, a 3-month hospital stay, and amputations of both hands and both feet. What you might consider the worst thing that could've happened, actually was for her good and God's glory. By God's wonderful grace, she is living "One Exceptional Life" where, in true form with 2 Corinthians 1:4, God comforted her in all her tribulations so that she can comfort, encourage, and lead other women in theirs.

Her mission is to help women rediscover God’s joy and peace amid the trials of life by living a balanced virtuous life. You can find her at One Exceptional Life, where she writes about overcoming challenges, spiritual growth, joy, peace, gratitude, and positivity.
