Our guest this episode, Sarah Manuel, was not supposed to live past the age of 4 after being diagnosed with the number 1 genetic killer of children under age 2. She not only survived. She thrived.

Despite being wheelchair bound and the low expectations so many people imposed upon her, Sarah found ways to overcome debilitating self-victimhood stories and instead chose to thrive in every area of life.

Nowadays, Sarah is a school psychologist and an advocate for the needs of students with unique learning abilities. She is also the author of the book called "Differences are Dynamite", which teaches children to embrace each other's differences. She also coaches those with disabilities to gain the tools and strategies they need to embrace their uniqueness and discover their own entry points to their passions.

If you're trying to get unstuck from your own disadvantaged circumstances or if you find yourself trapped inside a victimhood story about yourself, and instead you are ready to ignite your purpose and live out your full potential, then listen to this inspiring episode of A Work In Purpose with Sarah Manuel.
