Amy Oestreicher joins us to discuss how she turned her life-threatening illness and over 27 surgeries into what she now calls a beautiful detour. 

I wasn’t able to heal until I could start sharing my story. 

There’s life outside the plans we have for ourselves. 

I don’t think you can change people until they’re ready to change. 

When you find out what you’re grateful for, you realize what you’re about.

If life does take a detour you’ve got to follow that detour and just be open to where it leads because you really don’t know what you’ll get along the way.
