Speech Pathologist Lena Livinsky talks about her Polish mom Weronika who moved to the US at the age of 45, and beat all odds for success by becoming a hair stylist and opening her salon. From Weronika, we learn that it's never too late for new beginnings, about courage, kindness, and the importance of not comparing yourself to others. From Lena, we learn about speech pathology and how it can help with various issues from eating problems to changing one's accent.
