In this inspiring and heartfelt conversation, Kim Coles sits down with the extraordinary Dr. Suzannia Holden, a licensed psychologist, speaker, and co-author of Wisdom Gifts 2. Together, they explore resilience, perseverance, and the power of reframing life's challenges into stepping stones for success.

Diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at a young age and given a life expectancy of 17, Dr. Suzannia shares her powerful journey of defying the odds, living vibrantly, and rising to achieve her doctorate despite a world that often underestimated her.

"I think the key was not seeing my limitations as a hindrance, but seeing them as my superpower." – Dr. Suzannia Holden

Growing up in a military household, her father's tough love approach taught her discipline, perseverance, and the mental strength that would become the foundation of her incredible story:

"If I didn’t have that mindset of 'you can do anything,' I wouldn’t have pursued my doctorate or achieved what I have today." – Dr. Suzannia Holden

Kim and Dr. Suzannia also dive into the essential practice of self-care—not as a luxury, but as a necessity for survival and thriving:

"If you're not well, you can't be well for others." – Dr. Suzannia Holden

And they deliver a powerful reminder for anyone feeling isolated, discouraged, or overwhelmed:

"Your journey is your journey. You can’t operate on someone else's blueprint." – Dr. Suzannia Holden

This episode is a beautiful testament to the human spirit, the power of community, and the profound transformation that happens when you hold onto hope.
