How do you stay positive and hopeful, when you’re in a season of setbacks, and what feels like one bad break after another? How do you hold on to faith and belief that things will turn out in your favor, in the midst of horrible news you never saw coming? How do you reconcile your faith, and spirituality when it makes no sense why God would allow something so awful to be happening? Our incredible guest today, Teddi Mellencamp is sharing stories she’s never shared before on life’s hardest set-backs, marriage, infidelity, cancer, parenting during hardship, reconciling faith and summoning strength, hope and courage during bad-breaks and life’s set-backs. You might know Teddi as a TV personality who rose to fame on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she’s also co-host of the wildly popular podcasts called Two T’s in a Pod with Tamra Judge & Diamonds in the Rough with Erika Jayne, she’s daughter of musician John Mellencamp, a mom to her beloved little ones, Slate, Cruz, and Dove. She is also stepmother to Isabella and I’m so grateful to call her, friend. As her impact and following continues to explode, she’s also going through the unimaginable and the fight of her life, in this very moment, right now. Teddi was recently diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma, which she shared has metastasized to her brain and lungs.  Get your tissues out, and get ready to feel overwhelming gratitude and perspective for the blessings in your life right now, that can be so easy to take for granted when we have them.
