Have you heard of someone who goes through a life-changing experience and looks to change the world...not for themselves but for others? Roberta Lombardi is that wonder woman and on this episode of "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast she shares how to help women underserved and uninsured with the costly process of cancer treatment.

Roberta is incredible. After her own cancer diagnosis in 2016, this eye-opening experience wasn’t about making her life better, it was about truly helping others who didn’t have access to the resources she did. And then she did something about it. As the Founder and President of Infinite Strength, Roberta helps struggling women figure out finances and resources during cancer treatment. Through this non-profit, she offers them hope and motivation to keep fighting even though the obstacles go way beyond treatment. On this episode she talks about how important it is to help, shares stories about making a difference and lists a few ways to assist those women in need dealing with cancer.

20. Ingrid Prueher: How to Get a Good Slumber - The Sleep Whisperer on Stress & Self-care

I’m excited to introduce you to Lynn Giovannelli on this week's episode of "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast. I was told she's a bright light and amazing in 1,000 ways and with that introduction, I couldn’t wait to connect with her. People who know her best say she's a kind, loving and passionate spirit that is filled with energy, faith and compassion. Lynn is no stranger to hardship - having been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 and saw her company fall during the real estate crash of 2009. While her health has changed over the years, friends all say that one thing that has remained steady is her unbounded spirit. I’m honored that today Lynn shares her story about her recent ALS diagnosis.

This episode is incredibly heartfelt and uplifting despite her terminal diagnosis. Even someone as positive and compassionate as Lynn had been before hearing her diagnosis; she still stepped up her game. She's laser focused on finding joy with her family and in her life. She's also diving into new healthy living practices and finding energy in the exploration. Lynn provides tremendous insight and inspiration for anyone that receives the news they have ALS. In fact, she can motivate us all to find joy in our lives as she radiates positivity and love.
