This episode will give you tools to deal with your own suffering when you are faced with it.

 

A businesswoman, a constantly-reinventing person living with a disability, and a tennis coach, PLUS a mother to four girls and one boy; she is redefining what it means to be paralyzed managing her house, her business, and her children--Paula has had to manage the suffering and trials due to her paralysis, which inspired her to write a book about suffering management for the sick. The book is filled with faith and touching stories of the ill who found a way out of their darkness. Being completely paralyzed, she learned to live a life offering her suffering to the Lord for others!
