Why am I passionate about this?
A shock diagnosis of a blinding eye disease at the age of 37, coupled with a trip to South Africa to write about the devastating toll of AIDS, drove home the importance of focusing on the Now.

Eleven years later another shock diagnosis—this time with aggressive breast cancer—led me to the intersections between spirituality and science.

I now use my transformative journey to empower audiences and help them pursue the lives they want—regardless of the challenges they face.
