After that we have another amazing woman joining us when I talk to professional singer Renee Bondi. When life takes a dramatic turn, what is the healthiest way to respond? At age 29, Renee Bondi was engaged to be married and had a beautiful singing voice, a thriving career as a vocalist and music teacher. But then one night a bizarre accident shattered her spine and left her quadriplegic. Her life changed forever. Renee lost not only all use of her hands and legs, but also her singing voice – she could barely speak above a whisper. Although there were many dark days, Renee continued to persevere. Renee Bondi will share the valuable tools that helped her heart and mind remain intact when faced with the reality of living the rest of her life as a quadriplegic, permanently confined to a wheelchair. Against all odds and all physicians’ prognoses, Renee voice was miraculously restored with crystal clear, angelic sound. Renee harnessed her talents to inspire and give hope to others.Today, she is one of the top- selling independent Contemporary Christian Artists selling over 150,000 copies. Renee has augmented her gifts to include a dynamic speaking ability that grabs her audiences. Whether performing a powerful concert or sharing her profound and victorious story that includes paralysis and a life confined to a wheelchair, those who hear Renee are uplifted and mesmerized by her angelic voice, music and messages.
