"I felt like there was a need for a space that's honest about suffering but also has hope and can show the good in the midst of that." Carrie Schuessler always had a desire to encourage and help people, but the path that the Lord set her on probably came as a surprise to her. After she experienced some major health issues during her time in university, she took a step back and tried to find God in her suffering. Together, Carrie and I talk about how she came to encounter God through her suffering, how she came to start her podcast I Choose Grit, and the ways in which she's learning to live with an illness and not letting that stop her from living her life to the full.
Here are the show notes for this week's episode: https://femininegeniuspodcast.substack.com/p/choosing-grit-in-the-face-of-suffering
Be sure to listen to "I Choose Grit" wherever you listen to your podcasts, and you can read more of her writing by checking out her blog, ichoosegrit.com.
Our theme music is "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes.
