Beautiful testimonial from an audience member who heard my keynote speech at the September PHRA Conference ❤️

“If you are seeking an inspirational and captivating keynote speaker for your event look no further than Heather Rendulic. She was a great speaker choice for our local Pittsburgh Human Resources Assn. chapter (Pittsburgh SHRM affiliate) as she is an HR professional by trade, but it soon became evident that her inspirational message transcends any audience or profession. Heather’s motivational message of finding beauty in the chaos of everyday life compounded with the intersection of her personal challenges is a story that needs to be heard by all and one that will not be easily forgotten by any audience (make sure to have some Kleenex handy). If you want a speaker that will leave a lasting positive impact on your group Heather is the right choice.”

Well Heather is once again in surgery. She had a tendon lengthening in 2014 to help her walking. Unfortunately that caused her mid foot joint to develop arthritis. She was doing injections but they were no longer working. They are fusing the joint and she will be non weight bearing for 3 months while is fuses. Prayers appreciated for strength, healing, and peace. Thank you

Hey friends! It's been a while since I've posted but I wanted to share with you something I have realized through some challenges I've been facing in my life as of late.

After suffering a stroke and being paralyzed at a very young age, I obviously had to work through some very intense emotions. My recovery was long and grueling. Needless to say, it was a very traumatizing experience.

I worked through those emotions and fought hard in my recovery. I then went on to write and publish a book about my fight and become a public speaker to help others overcome challenges in their lives. When I speak about my trauma, I speak as though that door has closed and I am "fully past" that terrible experience.

However, recently, I have been presented with new challenges. I am about to have major surgery on my foot and my dear husband is facing a potentially serious health condition. I was taken by surprise when I started having all these emotions. It really took me by surprise!

It made me realize that even though we work through emotions and trauma in our lives, those emotions never fully go away. We may feel them less often but they can still come to the surface.

Think of the loss of a loved one. You initially experience such grief and sadness but over time you feel those less and less. Then years later, you see a picture of them or hear their voice and all those emotions come flooding back. This is what I experiencing right now in my life.

BUT I will get through this too. It isn't going to be easy but it is doable. I will take things one day at a time and trust in God. I will give myself space to feel these emotions for what they are but I will not allow them to overcome me. I will be HEADSTRONG!

9 years ago today I had my brain surgery that saved my life and marked the start of a brand new life for me. God brought me through it all so I could live to tell others about his unfailing love and mercy. He brought me through it all so I could write a book that would bring hope to others facing challenges. He brought me through it so I could learn just what strength and determination is and be proud of the woman I am becoming. He brought me through it so I could meet my amazing husband and start a beautiful life together. He brought me through it so I could have a new perspective on life and be grateful for all the beauty I have in it. He brought me through it so I could go on to have a wonderful life. He brought me through it for reasons I don’t even know yet but am so excited to find out. I am so very blessed and I thank Him for everything 🙏
