Hey, it’s Karen! A quick trigger warning: this episode mentions sexual abuse, though not in graphic detail. Today, I share part 1 of the story of Auntie Anne Beilor, the woman behind Auntie Anne's Pretzels. Raised in an Amish Mennonite family, Anne faced profound challenges, including the tragic loss of her child and suffering abuse by a trusted pastor. Despite these hardships, her journey of forgiveness, resilience, and the unwavering support of her husband, led them to create a thriving business and a free marriage counseling service to help others in need. Tune in on Monday to hear the rest of this incredible story!
