She had been a collegiate athlete and a record breaking sales professional - she hit the Top 10% of ADP Sales Representatives throughout the country, achieved President’s Club and promotional benchmarks at a record pace and was a Top Performing Advisor at various financial firms.But when cancer came knocking, she was faced with the opportunity to challenge the societal definition and turn it into something much more personal. Facing a terminal cancer diagnosis meant she had to redefine success on her own terms.Listen to today’s episode for a rockstar reframe on what it means to truly live.Show Notes:A big thank you to Elissa Kalver for joining the podcast and sharing your inspiring story.
