Returning Guest, Sandie Eggers – Cultivating Gratitude, Even in Adversity
SEASON: 4 EPISODE: 34
Episode Overview:
Are you experiencing adversity or challenges, personally or professionally? Life’s storms are inevitable. These storms affect us by bringing anxiety and worry, depression, and lack of motivation. They rob us of our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Either you are just coming out of one, you are currently in one, or you will soon be in one.
We cannot escape them, but learning how to navigate them is the key. To help us cultivate gratitude, even in adversity, is speaker and life coach, Sandie Eggers.
Guest Bio:
“Do nothing and be dead in a few days,” were the words Sandie Eggers heard from her husband’s surgeon, words that began her greatest season of challenge to date.
The two main things that enabled Sandie to weather this life storm were God and the transformational power of gratitude. Sandie is passionate about helping others by sharing what she’s learned so that they, too, can better navigate through their own life storms.
In addition to having authored the book, “Live Boldly and Embrace Joy” about her life-altering experience, Sandie also shares her knowledge through online courses, webinars, and workshops. She speaks to civic, religious, and corporate groups.
FUN FACT:
Sandie now lives in the low country. By God’s grace and blessing, she has achieved one of her personal goals: living in a place where the only “white stuff” she sees is beach sand.
