Katherine Wolf is the kind of friend who changes every lens of your life from lackluster to technicolor. If it feels like you’re in a moment where you could use a shot of courage and hope mixed with some seriously honest faith, then this is the conversation for you. Katherine knows what all those things truly mean, and I learned so much from her in our conversation.

Katherine is a communicator and advocate. She married her husband Jay in 2004 and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Their son, James was born in 2007, and six months later Katherine’s life nearly ended with a catastrophic stroke. Miraculously, she survived and continues her recovery to this day, including having a miracle baby, John in 2015. Katherine and Jay have shared their journey of steadfast hope through their books, ​Hope Heals ​and ​Suffer Strong, and at speaking events both live and online before millions. Together, they founded Hope Heals camp, a community for families with disabilities like them. Katherine, Jay and their two sons live in the Atlanta area.
