I believe today’s episode of The Lively Show is quite simply one of the most powerful and poignant episodes to date.

Today we’re speaking with Mariana López González of Elegir La Vida (Choose Life).

At the age of 19, a small black dot in Mariana’s right eye quickly escalated into brain tumor surgery just seven days later.

And the resulting recovery from that brain tumor has left her unable to eat ANY food or drink ANY liquids for the past seven years.

What Mariana has learned about life after living with these limitations is breathtaking and inspiring.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking to hear a story of courage, gratitude, and love in the face of life-changing circumstances.
