Satellite Sisters

Today's special Lizness School episode is inspired by a letter we received from listener Laura Tiberi asking us to consider how life choices can be different for "those who are faced with significant transitions as a result of medical illness or injury." Laura was "retired by leukemia", has experienced two stem cell transplants and "is 3 1/2 years old in transplant years." We speak to Kira Dales, a fellow Fellow of Liz's at Stanford last year, who tells us of her life since a brain tumor and stroke. Her story includes physical, communication, cognitive and emotional recovery over the last 6 years. Kira Dales on Stanford DCI site and LinkedIn. Homework: Kira recommends Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir Of A Life Interrupted by Suleika Jaouad. Here is Suleika Jaouad's substack Creative Alchemy: The Isolation Journals.
