About the Guest: Renee Rizzo is a woman who moved to Nashville over 20 years ago with a mission to help broken people find hope. She originally thought she would be a writer and speaker, but instead, she found herself at Hope Clinic For Women, where she had the opportunity to help broken women find hope and healing. Throughout her journey, she was guided by a title given to her by the Lord 25 years ago, and this experience led her to write a book about her life, realizing that she had been living her memoir all along.
