I'm so grateful to Formidable Woman US for featuri I'm so grateful to Formidable Woman US for featuring my story — from the accident that broke my neck and my marriage in one fell swoop, to losing my soulmate Brian in 2022, to building the Look Up Mindset Podcast out of all of it. 🎙️

❤️This feature gets into the heart of why I believe in the power of story. Stories are how we connect to one another. We don't get through life alone. By listening to others' stories, we level the playing field. Plus, we gain perspective, which is a superpower. 

If you've ever wondered what's behind the podcast and the books, this is a good place to start.
