Lessons From a Life Rebuilt: Love, Loss, and Defying the Odds with Becky Galli

by Christina Daves | Feb 19, 2025 | Living Ageless and Bold, Podcast

Rebecca Faye Smith-Galli is a bestselling author, columnist, and speaker who writes about love, loss, and healing. Her journey is one of profound resilience—having faced the loss of her brother at a young age, raising two children with special needs (one of whom passed away), navigating divorce, and confronting a rare disease that left her permanently paralyzed. Yet, through it all, Becky lives by her powerful motto: Life can be good no matter what.

In this episode, Becky meets with Christina to share her remarkable story of perseverance. She reflects on the tragic loss of her brother, the challenges of raising children with special needs, and the moment that changed her life forever—her sudden paralysis due to transverse myelitis. Despite overwhelming hardships, Becky found purpose through writing, launching a successful career as a columnist and author. She discusses her books, Rethinking Possible and Morning Fuel, and how she continues to inspire others through her wisdom, optimism, and refusal to be defined by life’s challenges.
