We have a very special edition of the Greatness Together podcast for you. This month, we’re talking about the power of healing mental and physical health through appreciation.

In the podcast studio, while Simonne is on a work visa term in Australia, Sarah had the joy of being back together again with one of her longest and dearest friends, Sonja.

If you’ve been in one of Sarah’s audiences, you have undoubtedly heard Sonja’s story. In 2020, she was given devastating news: she had breast cancer. And she, along with her two young girls and hubby, had to fight it at the beginning of the pandemic.

Can you even imagine?

Sonja so generously shares her story. What it was like getting that news. What she could see it was like for the caregivers by her bedside during COVID. Sonja is brimming with gratitude, appreciation and awe, and you will be too when you hear how she paid it forward to healthcare professionals, nonclinical staff, essential services workers and her family.

By the way, if we’ve given you the impression that this will be a “heavy” episode, oh, let us dispel that right now. Although Sonja’s story is painful, her retelling of it and the verbal shenanigans of this episode will make you laugh out loud, smile, and get a whole bunch of goosebumps (which we like to call “soul whispers”).

Tune in for part I of this delicious conversation. This is our first time inviting guests into the studio, and we know you’ll be glad we did.

Be sure to tune in again next time for part II.
