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.
