About Our Guest:Alyssa Wakeley | Founder of Warriors That PrayAlyssa Wakeley, with a heart for serving others, founded Warriors That Pray on the belief that every person is uniquely created with a purpose to fulfill. As a wife, mother, and devoted dog-lover, she strives to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those around her, offering encouragement and hope to those facing difficult times.
In 2020, at just 27 years old, Alyssa was diagnosed with breast cancer—a life-altering moment that could have defined her.

Now cancer-free, Alyssa is living life to the fullest and using her experience to uplift others. Out of her journey, Warriors That Pray was born—a movement designed to encourage and support those navigating their own battles. Through prayer bracelets, she offers a tangible reminder that even in the valley, God is with you… and PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.
Alyssa’s mission is clear: to spread hope, faith, and love, reminding others that no matter the challenge, they are seen, valued, and never alone. Through WTP, she continues to make a lasting impact, trusting in God's plan and using her story to bring light to those in need.
