Alicia Um says to step out on faith.
The 2008 recession left her family broke and a breast cancer diagnosis made matters worse.
With nowhere to turn, her husband moved out of state to find work while she underwent treatment, all while raising kids.
During this conversation, you’ll hear from both Alicia and her husband, Aaron. They discuss their faith, the importance of staying positive, and how their taekwondo gym is inspiring young children to pay it forward to The Rose.
