Cracked But Called: A Life-Changing Message for Women Around the World
Thousands of women gathered in Southeast Asia this year, and I had the incredible honor of standing before them to deliver a message birthed from my own journey: God does His greatest work through broken vessels.
I didn’t stand on that stage because I had it all together. I stood there as someone who has walked through storms—cancer, heart disease, divorce, career loss—and yet, by God’s grace, discovered a deeper calling through every crack and every broken place.
As 2 Corinthians 4:7 reminds us:
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
We are fragile vessels, yet we carry an extraordinary treasure within us. Not because of our strength — but because of His.
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, it felt like the end. But through that pain, God began a new story. Even after developing a rare, life-threatening heart condition, even after my career in clinical medicine ended due to lymphedema, God’s grace became my strength. I learned firsthand that weakness does not disqualify you — it positions you for purpose.
Every crack, every loss, every detour led me to this moment — and to a message that I now carry around the world: You are not disqualified by your brokenness. You are called because of it.
And just like Esther in the Bible, who risked everything to fulfill her divine assignment, we too are living in a time that requires courage. We are here for such a time as this.
“And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” — Esther 4:14
If you’ve ever questioned your worth, your purpose, or your ability to lead from a place of brokenness — I invite you to watch this powerful moment from the Women’s Conference 2025.
It’s a testimony not just of survival, but of surrender. Not just of healing, but of hope.
Watch the video below and be reminded: Your cracks are the evidence of God’s calling.
Thank you to the thousands of women who opened their hearts and embraced the truth that brokenness is not the end of the story — it is the place where God’s glory shines brightest.
You, too, are here for such a time as this.
Choose Him — cracks and all.
Saving Lives Through Sales: My Keynote with Advanced Sterilization Products
What a powerful experience it was to speak to the incredible sales team at Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) on January 29, 2025. ASP is an industry leader committed to infection prevention, and I had the honor of delivering a keynote that dug deeper than profit margins and quotas—it was about purpose, people, and patient safety.
My keynote, “Empowering Health Equity: The Transformative Role of Sterilization Sales Teams,” focused on how sales professionals play a vital role in reducing infection rates, particularly in hospitals that serve vulnerable populations. I shared stories from my childhood receiving care in underserved public hospitals—and contrasted them with the critical consequences of poor infection prevention I’ve witnessed in my medical career. One story that particularly moved the audience was about a young mother whose life was forever altered by an infection that could have been prevented.
I reminded the audience that health equity doesn’t start in the operating room—it starts with the people who provide the tools that make safe surgeries possible. Whether you’re a sales rep or a technician, you are part of a life-saving ecosystem. Every product sold is an opportunity to uplift healthcare workers, protect patients, and rebuild trust in healthcare systems that have historically underserved marginalized communities.
We explored powerful data, including how health care-associated infections are significantly higher in minority-serving hospitals, and how DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) isn’t just a moral imperative—it’s a business one. I encouraged ASP’s team to not just be sellers of equipment, but champions of health equity and advocates for the invisible heroes in sterilization departments—often overlooked but essential workers.
My challenge to them was this: “What will you do differently tomorrow? Will you see a sale as just a sale—or as the chance to save a life?”
It was an energizing, purpose-driven session, and I left inspired by the passion in the room. Sales is more than a transaction—it’s a transformation. And I’m proud to have been part of this transformative moment with ASP.
Finding Joy in the Winter of Life – Highlights from the Lake County Joy Summit
January can be heavy—short days, cold weather, and a general sense of fatigue settle over many of us. But on January 25, 2025, something extraordinary happened at the Zion-Benton Township High School. The Inaugural Lake County Annual Joy Summit brought a burst of light and warmth to the community. I had the incredible honor of being one of three keynote speakers, positioned right in the heart of the event, and let me tell you—it was nothing short of powerful.
My keynote, titled “Not Just Surviving but Living and Thriving,” was an honest, heartfelt journey through the trials and triumphs that have shaped my life. I shared how my childhood passion for healing eventually led me to a career in medicine—and how life threw me curveballs I never expected: a breast cancer diagnosis, a life-threatening heart condition, and the loss of my beloved mother. Yet, through it all, I’ve learned that resilience isn’t just about getting through the storm—it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
I recounted my transformation from physician to patient, from despair to purpose. I reflected on my mother’s courage, my cancer battle, my lymphedema diagnosis, and the creation of the LIVE Today Foundation, all woven together by a deep desire to help others find strength in their own stories.
I left the audience with this message: You don’t have to have perfect circumstances to experience joy. Joy is an inside job. And even when life knocks you down, you have the power to rise, to LIVE—Love yourself and others, Inspire those around you, Voice your dreams and ambitions, and Enjoy life.
If you were there, I hope you felt the power of purpose, resilience, and joy. And if you missed it—don’t worry. This is just the beginning of something beautiful. Stay tuned for more ways to LIVE and THRIVE in 2025!
