The story of LaQuita Monley takes us back to a time in life when the world just seemed to spin at a little bit slower pace. It was a time when everybody knew everybody, when kids got to be kids, and our world didn't extend past the city limit sign.

The life lessons learned during this time paired with her deeply-rooted faith and disciplined thought patterns would help LaQuita persevere through the hardships of teen pregnancy, navigate life as a military wife, overcome the unique challenges of living abroad, and ultimately have her arise as a multi-faceted woman of influence.

It's been 18 years since the day I rolled through the Operating Room doors at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital in Orlando, Florida to have a recently discovered brain tumor removed.

I was just 17 years old and had been given 6 months to live if this brain tumor, a Craniopharyngioma, was not removed. But what came next would reshape not just my life, but the lives of an entire family. Waking from surgery I would be left completely blind.

My mom, Teresa Lowe, joins me in this week's episode to share her perspective on this life-changing event. Our hope is that by my mom sharing her experience that it may in turn help someone else who may be going through something similar.

This week's episode is dedicated to the Pediatric Neuro Surgeon who saved my life, to Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital, to the nurses and staff who cared for me and treated my family with such grace and hospitality, and most of all, to John and his mom.

We all face barriers in our lives. And if we are not careful, those barriers can easily rob us of our opportunity to live out our lives to our greatest potential.

Erik Weihenmayer would prove to himself and to the world that blindness is yet another barrier that can be overcome. In 2001 Erik would become the first blind person to summit Mount Everest. He would then go on to climb to the highest point on all 7 continents. And when the mountains became too routine he would turn his focus towards kayaking the world's rivers.

Join me as I sit down with Erik to talk about his adventures, his wins, his losses, and all the moments in between.

A HUGE thank you goes out to Erik and the entire team at No Barriers for helping to remind us all that what's within us is greater than what's in our way!

Fred Haywood was born on the island of Maui a decade before it became a state. The son of a sugar plantation doctor, he grew up playing with the neighbor kids, who were Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, and white. He and his four siblings played in the waters off Kahului Harbor on their balsa wood surfboards and El Toro sailboats.

When Fred was seventeen, he left home to join George Haines’s world-famous Santa Clara swim team. In 1967, he and Mark Spitz were the first high school students to win the National Championships in Dallas, Texas, and Fred became the fastest backstroker in America.

Fred continued his winning ways in the sport of Windsurfing as he broke the world speed record in Weymouth, England.

In Fred's later years he became one of

the most successful realtors on the island of Maui.

Today, Fred Haywood is sharing his life's story in his book, Racing with Aloha!

This year marks the 20th anniversary of 9/11. 20 years ago on the morning of September 11, 2001 the United States of America was attacked in the most cowardly way imaginable - Using our own passenger planes as weapons.

I was blessed with an opportunity to reflect back on that day while talking with Christina Ray Stanton, the author of:

Out of the Shadow of 9/11: An Inspiring Tale of Escape and Transformation

I hope that our conversation will inspire you to reflect back on your own experience of 9/11... It's a day that should never be forgotten.

Out of the Shadow of 9/11 by Christina Ray Stanton

Bradford and Bryan Manning are two blind brothers on a mission to cure blindness. At a young age, they were diagnosed with Stargardt’s Disease, an eye disease that causes blindness over time. Thankfully they had two spectacular parents who raised them with the mindset that anything in this life is possible, they may just have to fight a little harder to get it.

While working in very successful careers life found a way to lead Bradford and Bryan in a different direction. They would create Two Blind Brothers, a small charitable clothing company that donates 100% of its profits to drive life-changing research for a cure for blindness. Two Blind Brothers focuses on quality, comfort, and "sense of touch”.
