Attending the Grant Cardone Foundation’s prestigious Night in White Gala was more than just a night of elegance and charity—it was a celebration of resilience, empowerment, and purpose. As I stood among leaders, changemakers, and visionaries, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own incredible journey. Just a few years ago, I experienced a near-death experience that would forever alter the course of my life. My soul left my body, I glimpsed heaven, and yet—against all odds—I returned.

This miraculous recovery became the cornerstone of my mission as an author and speaker, sharing the message that no setback is too great to overcome. It was a privilege to not only attend the gala but to also sit down for an interview on the Live Your Dreams podcast. In this episode, I opened up about my NDE, my rapid recovery, and how my book aims to inspire others to live with purpose, no matter what life throws their way.

The Night in White Gala highlighted the power of community, while the podcast gave me a platform to spread hope and resilience to an even wider audience. I left the evening not only inspired by the charitable work of the Grant Cardone Foundation but also more motivated than ever to help others rise from their own challenges and live their dreams.
