At the age of 23, Danielle Matthews was hit by a drunk driver and sustained a life-altering injury to her brain.

Her mind was determined to recover…and she did!

Danielle is a testament to the concept of post-traumatic growth and has since built an international business leading an organization that did $2.2 million in sales last year, authored an e-book called 'Mind Control: It's All In Your Head' and shares her life-altering experience with countless people around the globe.

• Learn to spot the inflection points in your lives.
• Danielle's philosophy is that we all have to stay on the ride of our lives, so to speak, and buckle up. 
• When the brain injury tragically hit Danielle, she chose reflection instead of anger. Her main question was: "What is this trying to teach me?"
