Description

Cancer survivor and #1 Amazon bestselling author Vera Knight shares her raw truth about the quiet self-abandonment that's poisoning women's lives and relationships. After a spiritual awakening on her bathroom floor following radiation treatment, Vera completely transformed her life at 61—firing all her fitness clients, writing her book, and learning to live authentically. This conversation dives deep into how perfectionism and people-pleasing are forms of self-denial, why it's never too late to change, and how one woman's transformation can heal seven generations.
