In a world full of labels, have you ever wished you could peel off the layers and discover who you really are?

In this episode, we hear from Michelle Berndt- a cancer survivor, former Mrs. Texas, mother, wife and corporate businesswoman who serves as the VP of Sales for OneShare Health.

In 2012, Michelle went through a bilateral mastectomy, then chemo, radiation and a hysterectomy. She shares her journey with stage three breast cancer, surviving and entering a competition for Mrs. Texas after battling for her life- and she WON! Even while having to wear a wig because she lost her hair during chemo, and struggling with her new "normal" after her breasts were removed, she wanted to help other women discover that true beauty comes from within, not from the labels we give ourselves. So much of what she felt had defined her femininity had been stripped away....but her true identity was a child of God. What a TESTIMONY, right? Can we all just take a moment to cheer for Michelle?

This beautiful story will inspire you to remember how valued, worthy and precious you are to God. Although what happened to Michelle was unfair and extremely difficult, she emerged with dignity, grace and gratitude for the gift of life.

This episode is sponsored by OneShare Health, an affordable, faith-based alternative to traditional insurance where families and individuals can save up to 50% monthly without sacrificing quality. The application is inclusive and does not ask Members about their specific religion or denomination. I personally stand behind this amazing company that has helped my own family and countless others have an affordable option that you can feel good about.
