And then the soul awakens and the crisis hits. You're in a LifeQuake™! It's time to evolve, but you're not sure how.

Dr. Toni Galardi shares her new book Life Quake and her seven-stage model for thriving, not just surviving, during times of personal and global chaos.

L J Joins Jordan Mercedes to share her story:

Life quickly offered distinctions between Life before Diagnosis AND Life after Diagnosis. Before my diagnosis I was in high demand and had an unending list of ‘Things to Do.’ After coming to terms with my diagnosis (after Surgery), I am forced to deal with my need to be in control and schedule my life according to what I am able to DO.

Living the personal creed--peace, progress and wisdom, L J Holloway offers the reader some Do’s, Dont’s & Uncanny Observations to help you or a loved one get through a Devastating Diagnosis.
