Ep. 92- The 12 Year Journey to Become a Lawyer at 44 After Surviving 3 Near Death Experiences

In this episode of The More Than Your Age podcast, host Erica Pasvar interviews Michigan-based estate planning attorney Lavonne Cliff Thomas, who shares her inspiring story of resilience, faith, and purpose after surviving three brain surgeries and navigating major life setbacks.

Lavonne opens up about how her life-threatening health challenges—including multiple craniotomies—shaped her personal and professional path. With deep spiritual insight, Lavonne shares how her Christian faith anchored her through the storm and ultimately led her to launch Cliff Thomas Law, where she helps individuals and families prepare for the future with wills, trusts, and estate planning services.

In this episode, we explore:

• How to find purpose after a health crisis
  

• Faith-based encouragement for women starting over after 40
  

• The importance of estate planning and leaving a legacy
  

• Navigating career changes with courage and clarity
  

• Biblical inspiration for anyone feeling “too old” or “too broken” to begin again
  

If you’re looking for motivation to step into your calling, build a meaningful career, or trust God through the hard seasons, this episode is for you.
