Survival Finding Passion And Purpose

    • Selbstverwirklichung

Laura Zellmer was diagnosed with Cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening illness that affects the lungs and pancreas, when she was just 16 months old. Despite a staggering 80% infant mortality rate at the time, Laura defied the odds and survived. 
Today, Laura is 43 years old and in her continued battle she received a double lung transplant last year.
 
In this amazing conversation, you with learn:
How Laura psychologically dealt with her diagnosis  What inspires her to take chances and embrace passion in spite of her illness How she has learned to appreciate what many take for granted How she stays motivated in maintaining her health everyday. Laura’s story has been a source of inspiration during my own health struggles with ulcerative colitis. Her determination to live life to the fullest is a lesson we can all benefit from.
I'm so excited to share this with you! 
SOME QUESTIONS I ASK LAURA:
Where did your propensity to risk come from? How often do you think about the lung donor who saved your life? Do you think you would be here today if your son didn’t give you a sense of purpose? LINKS FROM THE INTERVIEW:
