I knew that I was doing something to help people and it was helping their state of mind, even if it wasn't a medical grade thing.
What do you do when life throws you one curveball after another? Becca Makris has faced more than her fair share of challenges, but her story is one of resilience and creativity. In this episode of 'The Lighter Side with Jay', Becca opens up about her incredible journey. Starting with postpartum anxiety, she decided to take control of her health, undergoing bariatric surgery and shedding 140 lbs.
But just as she was finding her footing, tragedy struck: her husband passed away unexpectedly. Rather than letting grief consume her, Becca channeled her energy into something positive—making over 1,000 masks for frontline workers during the pandemic. Her drive and determination are truly inspiring. Jay Casale, the host, first met Becca through his weight loss group, and they've since become friends.
He’s continually amazed by her willingness to share her experiences to help others and her ability to turn personal pain into acts of kindness. This episode is a heartfelt conversation about loss, resilience, and the power of creativity to heal. Tune in to hear Becca's story and find a dose of inspiration for your own journey.
