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.
