Amanda speaks to Lesia Cartelli, speaker, author, and CEO & Founder of Angel Faces, a nonprofit providing retreats and ongoing support to girls and women with severe burn and trauma injuries. Lesia talks about her own traumatic experience as a child, and how it led her to start her organization, helping people across the country. And, if that's not amazing enough, she also married a firefighter.

Lesia was selected as “Hero of the Week” by People Magazine and has been featured on national media numerous times. She has received many prestigious awards for her leadership and inspiration including the “Heart of a Woman” Award on the Dr. Phil Show and an EMMY for Angels Faces mini-documentary.  

Lesia's book, Heart of Fire, is available for purchase at lesiacartelli.com or on Amazon. If you'd like to learn more about Angel Faces or donate, their updated website angelfaces.com will launch on November 1st. You can also reach out directly at [email protected].
