Believe it or not, Cherie says she first felt ashamed to share the story she’s about to share with you about her miraculous recovery!

I mean she was clinically dead for 90 minutes, was on a bionic heart for 5 years and is only recently is recovering from her heart transplant. Her story is unbelievable!

Needless to say, this experience forever changed her understanding of herself.

And she wants you to know that you don’t have to go through a near-death experience like she did to transform your life into the person you’ve always known you’ve been.

There are a lot of powerful lessons in this conversation including:

  1. How she overcame the shame of sharing the story of her near-death experience.
  2. Why the ultimate freedom is the freedom to be your true self.
  3. Letting your tribe by drawn to your voice, instead of trying to fit your voice into a tribe.
