Many people have solid reasons to be mad at God, yet only a few have the wisdom to realize it is not about changing our circumstances, it is about accepting the ones we can't change and working from there.
In this episode, we learn a thing or two about resilience, never giving up, and using setbacks as fuel to change the world from the incredible Naomi Riley. Naomi was hit by a distracted driver and suffered several injuries that transformed her life. Despite she had plenty of reasons to give up or simply live her life angry at God, Naomi decided to come back stronger than ever and make the world better for her family. She is the Founder of Text Pledge, a Writer, a Motivational Speaker, a Researcher, a Program Developer, a Mother of three, and a brain injury survivor.
