What happens when chronic pain changes the course of your life? Join me, Marcy Backhus, as I share my transformative journey following a debilitating car accident that left me with unseen injuries.

We also delve into the importance of community support and faith during trying times.

This episode isn’t all about struggles, though. Craig and I managed to squeeze in some joyful moments, from indulging in mouth-watering dishes at a local Italian deli to the hilarious surprises at a live taping of "Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me."

Tune in to hear about my son's adventurous rafting trip, my eldest child Kyle's latest updates, and the simple pleasures that make life wonderful despite ongoing health challenges.
