Overview:

On this episode of The Daniel Kelley Podcast, Daniel welcomes his very first female guest, Renee Dollenmayer, a founder, speaker, and coach who is on a mission to reframe disability into hope and healing. Renee opens up about her journey living with cerebral palsy, growing up feeling like she had to be “fixed,” and the transformative power of her faith. From her early days of feeling out of place in church pews, to launching a global online ministry for women with disabilities, Renee’s story is one of vulnerability, resilience, and radical joy. Daniel and Renee dive deep into topics like spiritual identity, community, the unseen challenges of living with a disability, and why true healing goes far beyond the physical. Whether you’re struggling with your own circumstances or just looking for some heartfelt inspiration, this conversation will remind you that the things you least expect can sometimes become the very source of your greatest strength.
