Last week on The Shit Stick of Life, Kortney sat down with her dear friend Kelly Putty to share the first part of her powerful journey, from a traumatic experience at 16 to her path of healing and faith.


In this week’s Part 2, we dive deeper into the incredible life Kelly has built from those experiences. She opens up about the heart behind Ordinary Hero and the life-changing mission trips she’s led to Ethiopia, her own adoption journey, and how her understanding of faith has shaped her work. Kelly also talks about creating Nine Pines Retreat with her husband Shane. 


This episode is an inspiring look at how one person can take pain and transform it into purpose, touching countless lives along the way.
