EP29: #MyGirlTalkStory: Let Go & Let God
Our guest, Mary Reilly, shares about loving herself through her disability and trusting God through life’s peaks and valleys.
This heart-tugging episode brings forth a blend of trusting friendship, finding hope and struggling through healing. Our guest, Mary Reilly, shares her experiences about living with a neurological disability called spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). Having to transition from running to using a walker challenged Mary to experience the reality of her family’s mantra to “let go and let God.” The mentally heavy burden of dealing with many difficulties drew her to seek the help she needed. She wants every person to know God is with you, you are not alone, and you can trust the process of day by day surrendering and acceptance.
