Welcome back to The Midlife Makeover Show! Today’s episode is a heart-opening journey into resilience, hope, and the art of “rethinking possible.” Wendy welcomes the incredible Rebecca Faye Smith Galli — author, columnist, speaker, and warrior of the human spirit — whose life has been marked by profound losses, including the deaths of her brother and son, her daughter’s special needs diagnosis, divorce, and sudden paralysis. Despite it all, Becky chose to move forward with grace, grit, and an unstoppable spirit.
In this conversation, Becky shares her path from unimaginable adversity to writing her new book, Morning Fuel: Daily Inspirations to Stretch Your Mind Before Starting Your Day. She opens up about living fully despite limitations, accepting life’s unexpected twists, and finding joy and purpose no matter the circumstances. If you’re feeling stuck, facing grief, or craving a fresh perspective on resilience, this episode will fill your heart and fuel your soul.
