On a seemingly ordinary morning, just one week before my 54th birthday, I woke up with a pain that demanded my attention—and a voice inside me that wouldn’t be ignored. What began as discomfort in my shoulder quickly escalated into a journey that forced me to confront my past, my health, and my purpose. This experience was a wake-up call, a reminder that life’s fragility is also its greatest gift. Join me as I share the lessons learned from this scare, the resilience of the human spirit, and my renewed commitment to living fully and authentically.
