Therein lies The Secrets to Living A Fantastic Life! And in fact, that’s the title of the book today’s inspiring guests co-authored together. Join this unbelievably empowering show with special guests Dr. Allen Lycka and Harriet Tinka, who each suffered trauma and sought renewal through the wisdom of specific character traits that refocused them on a life of richness, appreciation, joy and service.
Harriet, a beautiful former runway model, shares her real-life horror story of being beaten, abducted and stabbed -- an incident intended to leave her for dead. It was a miracle she survived. However, after experiencing the incredible trauma, she was feeling a sense of “why me?” until something happened that turned her perspectives around.
And Dr. Lycka, considered Canada’s premier cosmetic dermatologist, was visiting what he called “the happiest place on earth,” Disney, with his wife and daughter. It was during that trip that he became aware of his foot “flapping.” This took him on an unexpected journey of facing his own mortality and many more surprises to unfold.
When both met, it wasn’t long after that they decided to write a book together. And in this compelling episode of Aging GreatFULLy, they share their stories and their book, The Secrets to Living a Fantastic Life: The 13 Golden Pearls uncovering how two survivors discovered incredible life wisdom together.
