Emily Hughes Johnson shares her touching relationship with her mother, Marilyn and the gifts her mom left her. Marilyn's determination to never let cancer win and to continue to inspire Emily’s life were her priorities. Living her best life through cancer. Setting an example of lifestyle and mindset. Pushing through limitations. Her strength and courage have always been a guiding force for Emily.

Emily's mom passed away following a courageous 17 year battle. With that Emily also had a unique challenge presented to her. It was a secret book, ”Bird of Paradise”, that Marilyn was writing throughout her diagnosis. She passed away leaving the book unfinished. She left a letter for her with one request - that Emily finish the story for her.

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.
