    When Life Changes Overnight: A Story of Faith, Family, and Resilience with Brie Bauer
    Dec 24 2024
    How Do You Adapt When Life Changes Everything? This week, I’m honored to share one of the most unforgettable conversations I’ve ever had, with an extraordinary woman—Brie Bauer. Brie’s story isn’t just about survival; it’s about resilience, faith, and redefining what it means to show up for life. After giving birth to her third child, Bo, at just 27 weeks, Brie faced a series of life-threatening complications that resulted in a medically induced coma, multiple surgeries, and ultimately, the amputation of her limbs. But this isn’t a story of loss—it’s a story of transformation. Brie shares how she confronted the unimaginable with a mindset anchored in faith and perspective. From the moment she woke up and made the decision to move forward, she has been determined to focus on what she can do instead of what she’s lost. Her love for her family, her honesty about the hard days, and her commitment to adapting to her new reality are lessons we can all learn from. As she says, “You have to adapt. You have to change with what comes to you.” In our conversation, Brie opens up about motherhood—how her definition of being a mom has evolved and how she still shows up for her three boys every single day. She also speaks candidly about her faith journey, admitting to moments of frustration with God while remaining open to growth and connection in her relationship with Him. And through it all, her husband Reed has been a rock—showing what true partnership and love look like in the face of overwhelming odds. Key Takeaways: Adapt to Your Reality: Life doesn’t always go as planned, but your ability to adapt determines your quality of life. Perspective Is Everything: The way you frame your challenges can completely shift your experience of them. Motherhood Redefined: Being a parent isn’t about what you can physically do—it’s about being present in every way you can. Faith Isn’t Always Perfect: It’s okay to wrestle with your faith and still remain open to its growth. Love Shows Up: True partnership means being there for each other in ways you never expected. Brie’s story isn’t just about overcoming—it’s about becoming. She’s a living example of how even in the face of unthinkable challenges, we can still choose gratitude, resilience, and love. Tune in and let Brie’s courage inspire you to face your own challenges head-on. This is an episode you’ll carry with you long after it ends. Learn more about your ad choices.
