About the Guest:

Judy Pearson is a best-selling author, an accomplished presenter, and a graduate of Michigan State University. Judy’s first two biographies told the stories of ordinary Americans who had been extraordinarily courageous during World War II. A diagnosis of breast cancer interrupted Judy’s career, but believing there is always treasure in life’s wreckage, she created an anthology of the articles and blogs called It’s Just Hair: 20 Essential Life Lessons. Crusade to Heal America: The Remarkable Life of Mary Lasker, was selected as the 2023 Florida Book Award Bronze Medal winner. Judy was named one of Chicago’s Most Inspirational Women, was selected as a finalist for the Arizona Healthcare Leadership Awards and named a Phoenix Healthcare Hero the same year. She and her husband, David, live in Nokomis, FL.
