Designing silver linings

I believe resilience is the key to building mental strength. As a mother, business leader, cancer survivor, and caregiver, resilience has helped me thrive throughout life's curveballs. My mission is to share the learnings from my warrior stories and help individuals and organizations create their own silver linings.
