Minister La La sits down with Amy and Michael Conn, two fabulous human beings who share their story of how cancer interrupted their lives and how they didn't allow it to destroy their lives. But instead turned Amy's diagnosis into positivity and uplifting their communities!
This is a long episode, but worth the time to hear their insights. They are easy to listen to and exude their love and fabulosity they have for their community and family.
Learn about how fire is not the only on the job hazard that firefighters face! Michael shares how cancer is one of the leading causes of death for firefighters! Learn how firefighters are changing that and battling the causes, the stigma, and how they help their firefighting brothers and sisters!
Twenty years ago Amy Conn was a special education teacher and a mother of two young children when breast cancer interrupted her life. Rather than seeing it as a tragedy she chose to call it an “adventure” and that perspective changed everything!
Amy Conn is a teacher turned healer! A 34 year veteran special education teacher and E-RYT yoga instructor with over 2000 training hours! A reiki practitioner and certified Light Worker. She is a founder of A quality Life Community ( a non-profit serving Cancer Survivors.) She has a couple education degrees from the University of Utah, she is a doctoral candidate. She is also a Published Researcher on yoga interventions for burn survivors.
Her cancer jouney inspired her book Revealing Grace: A Story About a Cancer Adventur and a Community. She wrote it 20 years ago, but will release a revised edition on October 18th! She will talk more about what has changed in the last 20 years and what you can expect from this second edition!
