Viola Edward's childhood wasn't easy. Her father died when Viola was just three and her mother, who was living in Lebanon at the time, was pregnant with her sister. That country's turmoil prompted Viola's mother to leave their home and move to Venezuela, where despite not knowing the language, Viola was working full-time by age 13.

Despite all of that, Viola pursued an education and transformed herself into a psychotherapist, author and international speaker. In this podcast she discusses her upbringing and also talks about beauty, leadership and overcoming challenges.
