Yvette McCue was working twelve hour days, while taking care of her ailing father and three children. It was in her nature to put everyone’s needs ahead of her own, until her health took a dramatic downward turn. The tables were then turned, as she was forced to rely upon a wheelchair for mobility and the help of her family and friends for basic daily needs. 

In this episode, we learn how Yvette found healing through a variety of modalities, including Qigong. She shares her inspiring story of transformation and her newfound purpose, as a certified Qigong instructor. We discuss how chronic illness changes one’s perspective and the gratitude she now has for things she was moving too fast to notice before.
