Lori Gano is a speaker, teacher, and author. Lori has a passion for broken women and she goes into the trenches to help restore these women in rebuilding their shattered lives.
Lori's career as a licensed general contractor and owner of a residential design and build construction company is what inspired her to help restore broken lives.
Lori was born into a difficult family life whose parents were alcohol dependent and severely mentally ill. She struggled through abuse, neglect, panic disorder, PTSD, and anorexia. But she was determined to make something of her life which led her to help others less fortunate.
Marrying at 23, she was still suffering through panic disorder and anorexia. She lost her mother-in-law to leukemia, became pregnant with twins but one was lost. She lost her ability to work due to the high-risk pregnancy and they lost their home, cars and all their belongings. They had to file bankruptcy and begin the process of starting over.
Author Darcy Leech was born to Jo Lyn Bartz, who genetically carried myotonic muscular dystrophy. Darcy's brother, Dustin, was born with the same disease. He had a high enough frequency of protein repeat mutations that of his thirteen years of life, every day defied prior medical knowledge!
He lived far beyond what anyone expected. Darcy shares how inner strength, a strong love of family and God sustained him.
Darcy's mother lived ten years after Dustin passed and Jo Lyn was the strongest woman Darcy ever will meet. The life lessons she taught Darcy will be passed on to future generations. This story will touch your soul.
Her memoir, From My Mother, is a moving narration of loss and the deep resilience of the human spirit as the body weakens.
