✨ What happens when life breaks you open—but instead of falling apart, you rise stronger? In this heartfelt episode of Express Light, I sit down with life coach and host of Unshakeable Belief, Monica Connolly. Monica shares her deeply personal journey through tragedy, self-doubt, and the hard moments that could’ve stopped her—but didn’t. Together, we talk about what it really takes to step out of your comfort zone, challenge your old identity, and boldly become who you were always meant to be.

If you’ve ever wrestled with insecurity, felt stuck in your past, or questioned if you’re really made for more—this conversation will speak right to your soul. Get ready to feel seen, stirred, and strengthened to take your next step.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Mickey Okeson—a woman of unwavering strength and faith—as she shares her incredible journey of healing, redemption, and resilience. From walking through the heartbreak of abortion to finding Christ and embracing the calling of motherhood, Mickey opens up about the battles she faced and the grace that met her in every chapter.

She vulnerably recounts the journey of raising five children, including her son who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis—a diagnosis that came with devastating odds. But God had a different plan. Today, that same son is not only thriving but competing in a marathon, defying every expectation.

Mickey’s story reminds us that brokenness doesn’t have the final say. Redemption does. And with God, healing is possible, purpose is restored, and miracles still happen.

This is more than a story—it’s a testimony. One that will stir your heart, renew your hope, and remind you that no matter your past, you’re never too far from God’s grace.
