Episode #68: Warning: This Episode May Cause Major Life Perspective Shifts

If you’ve ever wondered why women can survive everything from breakups to biopsies but still apologize for taking up space, this episode is your new pep talk. Dr. Cindy sits down with author, speaker, and coach Dana Lyons—a woman who has lived through enough plot twists for three memoirs and still shows up with grit, grace, and a wicked sense of humor. Together, they unpack what it really takes to move from surviving to thriving, why “broken” isn’t a bad word, and how learning to use your own voice can change everything. It’s raw, bold, and beautifully human.

In this episode, we cover:

• (4:00) Learning about the many hats that Dana Lyons wears daily.
• (7:00) How Dana pushed through during a vulnerable time while putting her story down on paper.
• (12:00) We’re not trained to look within ourselves when we need to make changes.
• (16:00) Dana’s journey through Cancer.
• (25:00) The difference between surviving and thriving.
• (35:00)Rapid-fire questions
