You wake up. You get ready for work. You do your normal thing. Then, out of the blue, you get that dreaded phone call. The one that changes your life forever. It forces you to step back and figure out your new game plan.

Meridith Alexander got that terrifying call. She shares her daughter Schuylers tragic accident being crushed by a boulder. Reality hit her when she asked herself what the worst of her horrible emotions was. She realized that it was feeling powerless to help her daughter, so she decided to start playing the inner game like she had never played it before.

Today, she believes that it's thanks to these "impossible" boulders that ordinary lives can become epic lives. Meridith is a bestselling author, motivational speaker and coach. She shares her really powerful tools that you will be able to start using today to discover your own epic story and uncover your inner narratives for a thriving life.

Living an epic life involves being in control of how we experience our lives, rather than the opposite. It is about tapping into the power within ourselves to be able to achieve even our most impossible dreams, despite all the reasons why it seems impossible to do so. We must recognize that each of us are capable and can show up as our best selves in order to create a life of fulfillment and success.

Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Series - 8

We are setting the “Gold Standard” for skin health and advocating for sun safety in this must-listen episode. Get advice from 4-time melanoma survivor and Olympic Gold medalist Summer Sanders.

Growing up in California, learning to swim from an early age and eventually training for competition and the Olympics, gave Summer plenty of opportunities to be outside in the sun. Over time, this led to her hearing the words “you have malignant melanoma”. From that moment, Summer realized the deficit that exists when it comes to education and promoting sun protection and skin cancer awareness. She decided it was time to use her experience to bring the spotlight to sun safety and save lives.

Today, she shares her experience of her first diagnosis in 2014 to the present day and why she feels so strongly about sun protection and being an advocate.

Summer has accomplished so many amazing things in her life, winning not only two gold medals in the 1992 Olympics for swimming, but also being a TV and sports personality, a mom to 2 incredible children and also the wife of an Olympic skier.

I wanted to include her in this series because she has also faced melanoma four times and continues to thrive in her life. She shows her determination and resilience in this fight against a frightening diagnosis.

Together, let's educate ourselves and others on skin cancer and take action to advocate for our health. Don't miss this potentially life-saving episode.
