Hit and Run Over 3 Times

#foryou #podcast On May 21st, 2018, Naseem’s life changed forever when she was hit and then run over three times by a car. What could have been the end became the beginning of a remarkable journey of healing, transformation, and purpose. Now, Naseem celebrates that day each year as Unbreakable Day, a reminder of her decision to turn unimaginable pain into empowerment. Her book, “The Unexpected Benefits of Being Run Over,” and her work as a speaker help others find meaning, growth, and strength in their own experiences of trauma.
