Wendy Grijalva joins us on I Am Redemption for a very raw, real, honest, and emotional conversation most wouldn't publicly

In this episode, Wendy opens up about surviving trauma, battling eating disorders, struggling with substance abuse, navigating grief, losing herself, rebuilding her confidence through fitness and yoga, and ultimately finding her voice within the community

This conversation goes far beyond transformation photos or surface level motivation. We are about the pain that builds Identity, self worth, healing, and growth. We are Built Different to keep moving forward after life changes everything

Wendy shares what it was like trying to survive internally while appearing strong externally, the impact grief had on her life, and how fitness, recovery, movement, and community became part of rebuilding herself from the ground up

If you’ve ever struggled with trauma, addiction, body image, depression, grief, loss, or trying to rediscover who you are after hard seasons in life, this episode will hit home
