One of her devastating obstacles was a leukemia diagnosis, which was nearly drastic.

And you're going to learn so much about all of this today.

Mary, welcome to the show. Are you in mindfulness mode today,

Mary? Oh, Bruce, thank you for having me. I am so excited to be here. And yes, I am in

mindfulness mode, but I believe it's a choice that we choose to be there or not. So I believe it's a

choice too. And I know that you have a very strong

just looking six years out in the future, who did you want to be, how to create that life,

and just being mindful about it, coming back, setting goals, and walking through that process.

But now that I'm coaching others, I've gone back and kind of reflected on my life.

And I see that there's some steps maybe that we need to look at and be mindful before that.
