In her own words
"Moving to Montana 25 years ago was the second great adventure I shared with my husband. Ten years before that, we took a year-long sabbatical from our legal careers to travel to 23 countries. We experienced remote places prior to cell phones and websites.
When I was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago, my experience gave me a new map for navigating the unknown territory of illness, recovery, and life.
Life's transitions are what we make of them -- and I share that philosophy with others through my career coaching."
