How do we live a fulfilling life, even in the face of life’s inevitable challenges, hardships, or unspeakable trauma?

This episode features a conversation with someone uniquely qualified to answer that question—Dr. Edith Eger, psychologist, Holocaust survivor, and author of The Choice, The Gift, and her latest release, The Ballerina of Auschwitz. I’m honored, humbled, and admittedly a little nervous to speak with Dr. Eger, who has redefined what it means to live with fulfillment, no matter the circumstances.

Dr. Eger, a colleague of Viktor Frankl, has dedicated her career to working with veterans, military personnel, and trauma survivors. She was once a promising gymnast, cut from her Olympic dreams because of her religion, and later imprisoned in a concentration camp. In that unimaginable darkness, she exercised not just physical flexibility, but mental and emotional resilience—the very qualities she now teaches us to embody. 

If you take away one thing from this conversation, let it be this: No matter what life throws your way, you can always choose how you respond—and you can choose to live a life that fulfills you.

Tune in to hear this inspiring discussion with Dr. Edith Eger and her grandson Jordan Engel, and prepare to be moved, challenged, and empowered to live your fullest life.
