Let's continue the conversation- send me a text!

Join me in a moving conversation with Rebecca Alexander.  In this conversation, Rebecca takes a deep dive into her own life that she has graciously shared in her published book “Not Fade Away: A Memoir of Senses Lost and Found”.  Rebecca is a psychotherapist, extreme athlete, and activist. She grew up in Northern California and holds 2 master’s degrees from Columbia University. She lives in New York City. She was born with Usher syndrome Type III.  In this podcast she shares her incredible story, the importance of feeling emotions and living with adversity, embracing humor in hard circumstances, and surrounding yourself with those who walk beside you.  In this podcast, Rebecca shares several stories about her diagnosis of Ushers as well as her journey to getting a cochlear implant.  Rebecca sets an example of choosing to be grateful, be happy with what you have today, and be optimistic about tomorrow.
