š The Indy Effect: A Legacy of Love and Light š
Ā
I recently had the profound honor of hosting Terah Belle Jones on my Beliefcast. It was one of the most emotional, vulnerable, and powerful conversations Iāve ever experiencedāa true display of what I call āmom power.ā
Ā
Terah, a former ER and pediatric nurse, became a beacon of hope and resilience after the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Indy Llew, to cancer. Indy, born with Down syndrome, was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome in 2018, which later progressed to leukemia. Despite multiple remissions, Indy passed away at just 5 years old in June 2021.
Ā
Her story captivated the world. Indy's light, strength, and spirit inspired a movement known as āThe Indy Effect.ā People from all walks of life changed because of herāchoosing more love, more presence, more purpose. One small girl sparked a global wave of kindness, compassion, and transformation.
Ā
Terah courageously documented their journey on her blog, sharing raw moments of love, faith, and heartbreak. In her post āThe Beautiful Life of Indy Llew,ā she reflects on the miracles and lessons Indy brought into the world. Terah continues to inspire through her words and public appearancesāreminding us all that even in the deepest pain, there is beauty, purpose, and hope.
Ā
To Terah and Indy: thank you for showing us what it means to live and love deeply. Your story will forever echo in the hearts of millions.
Ā
Tune in to Terahās Beliefcast episodeāit will touch your heart and inspire you to new heights.

Jessica Anne Renfeldt is the embodiment of radical resilience and unwavering gratitude. A heart transplant survivor, mother of three, author, and Founder of Mindset Coaching by Jessica Anne, she helps women rediscover their inner strength and create a life they truly love.

Jessicaās journeyāfrom surviving a terminal illness and profound loss to thriving with grace and gritāhas shaped her mission: to guide women in cultivating resilience not as a hard shell, but as a soft, flexible strength rooted in gratitude, joy, and lifeās quiet moments.
Ā
Raised on a farm and still a farm girl at heart, Jessica draws deep inspiration from nature. Whether fly fishing in mountain streams or quilting stories into fabric, she believes healing comes from slowing down and embracing lifeās simple joys.

Ā
Jessica teaches that resilience isnāt about doing it allāitās about softening, receiving, and being transformed by lifeās beauty, even in the messiest moments.

Gabe Schiavone
Monday May 05, 2025
Monday May 05, 2025
From rockstar to rock bottom⦠and back.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Gabey Schiavone devoted his life to music ā touring the world as a recording artist across rock ānā roll, punk, and heavy metal. In 2012, he retired from the stage, moved to Utah, and dreamed of becoming a full-time family man.
Ā
Shortly after, he was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. Though he beat the cancer, he fell into a deep depression and developed a heavy addiction to prescription opioids during treatment. Over the next decade, his addiction cost him nearly everything ā family, friends, shelter, and even the will to live.
Ā
But that wasnāt the end of Gabeyās story.
Ā
On August 1, 2023, he checked into treatment for the last time ā fully surrendered, fully committed. Beneath the wreckage was still the passionate, driven artist with big dreams. And today, heās rebuilding a life of purpose, creativity, and hope.
Ā
Redemption is real. Recovery is possible.
Gabe is loved by all of us ā and we are proud to stand by him.Ā Get ready ā heās about to rock your world.

Hard work. Tears. Faith. Discipline. The Creed.
From 5 a.m. training sessions at age 8 to earning Big 12 Most Improved Player of the Year, Richie Saunders' journey is a masterclass in belief, perseverance, and purpose.
But he didnāt do it alone.
His father, Rich Saundersāformer college basketball player and mentorāhelped him visualize his future and reminded him: āIf youāre willing to put in the work, it will be one of the hardest things you ever do⦠but you may have a shot at D1.ā
Richie didnāt just traināhe made a decision every day: Is this what I want?
There were tears. Moments of doubt. Times he wanted to quit.
But he clung to The Creedāhis internal value system that defined who he was and how he was going to show up in life.
He stayed grounded through daily connection with God, relentless work ethic, and a heart for serviceābuilding courts in Mali, mentoring others, and living with purpose.
This Beliefcast is about more than basketball.
Itās about vision, legacy, resilience, and faith in action.
š§ Tune in and get inspired by the unshakable bond between a father and son, and the belief that made the dream possible.
