Journey from struggles to strength with the Beauty For Ashes Podcast, where former Missouri State Senator, public speaker, and 'Cinder Girl' author Holly Thompson Rehder joins forces with dynamic Co-Host Teressa Gilliland to bring you powerful stories of resilience and redemption.

Drawing from Holly's remarkable journey of quitting school at fifteen to help take care of her mother and younger sister after a devastating car accident to becoming a successful businesswoman, respected legislator and influencial author of "Cinder Girl", this podcast dives deep into raw, honest conversations about breaking cycles of generational poverty, walking in faith, and finding purpose through life's trials.

Similarly, Teresa’s story echoes these struggles and triumphs. Once a teenage mom from a small rural town in southeast Missouri, she’s faced countless challenges head-on. From raising three kids as a single mother to working as a personal trainer, managing an apartment complex, and now thriving in sales, Teresa has spent her life adapting to whatever comes her way. Yet, through it all, her unshakable positivity and deep love for Jesus shine brightest, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she meets.

Each episode combines powerful personal stories with practical wisdom, featuring inspiring guests and candid discussions about policy, faith, and the grit it takes to rewrite your story. Whether you're facing your own challenges or seeking inspiration to make a difference, join Holly and Teressa as they share the transformative truth that beauty truly can rise from ashes.
