Since that day, Klyn has spent over 70 extended stays in the hospital, and yet she has found ways and will to muster on, seeking to best her best days. She embraced lifetime learning and decided to learn all she could about the physical science, neuroscience, and her love 'sales team management and motivation.' Listen to her powerful story and insights, and her challenges and awakenings. Truly proving that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. She offers a life metaphor of 'choosing your cloud' as you do with the thoughts you allow to wander by and linger in your mind.
