“Life and love isn't about what you gain, it's about what you give.”
If you've known someone or had a chronic disease yourself, you know how hard it can be to keep up a positive attitude month after month and year after year.

She believes it is important to educate and raise awareness about CF and spread love whenever and wherever she can. She's out to change the world! Somer tries to live each day to the fullest by keeping her hopes high, and dreams big!! She is 40 years old living with Cystic Fibrosis and she is an active advocate in the CF community.
This conversation is as uplifting as they get. It will turn your day around and remind you that breathing is a gift, and we can each be grateful for what we have.

Her 16 years of expertise and vast knowledge in design, fit, and technical detail has made Erica one of the most sought after fit models (not to be mistaken for a fitness model) in Los Angeles. Having reached success in being known for her body and curves, she knows she has a much bigger purpose to serve.
This conversation is full of powerful reminders that you already have all the tools you need inside of you to reinvent your relationship to self-love -- and that it's worth it.
Here’s what you will learn:
- How Erica began her journey to be a life coach (2:13)
