Lisa Mannina-Sulzer shares her inspiring journey as a cancer warrior and resilience advocate, and how her journey of embracing vulnerability and self-discovery has led to breakthroughs in her life, increased happiness, and new experiences. Lisa reflects on childhood traumas from sexual assault, facing discrimination when coming out as a teenager, working in a male-dominated field and helping other women take to the skies through mentorship, the impact of motherhood on her healing journey, and her upcoming memoir and children's books.
