Summary
Michelle Hord is no stranger to tragedy. She started her professional career as a producer on America's Most Wanted, where she came face to face with the unthinkable on a daily basis.
But when her own beloved 7-year-old daughter Gabrielle Eileen was murdered by her ex-husband, Michelle's entire life crashed down around her.
Today, with compassion + insight, Michelle joins us for a raw and powerful conversation about resilience, hope, and defiant faith and how it can lead to powerful transformation even in the midst of our darkest hours.
You'll leave this conversation with a compassionate blueprint on how to harness your inner strength and the tools you need to reclaim your story.
Plus, Michelle reads a short excerpt from her book The Other Side of Yet, released earlier this week, that is profoundly special.
