In this heartfelt episode of The Joyfully Prepared Podcast, Wendi Bergin shares an unexpected insight she discovered about self-reliance—and how God uses our unique talents, skills, and quirks to bless others. From a pharmacy worker who saved her $100 to a friend inspired by her Transformation Journal, Wendi weaves together personal stories that reveal how heaven orchestrates everyday miracles. She reminds us that self-reliance isn’t just about independence—it’s about being prepared to give. Drawing from Marion G. Romney’s timeless quote, Wendi flips the script: instead of focusing on what we don’t have, she invites us to recognize how much we already do. By developing our gifts and drawing closer to God, we become His hands in someone else’s story. With warmth, humor, and a dash of Aunt Rose’s lemon bars, Wendi helps us see that God is the ultimate matchmaker—pairing our abilities with the needs of others in miraculous ways.
