Sonia Houle - A Brutal Diagnosis at 28 Changed Everything

At 28 years old, our guest received a diagnosis that stopped her life in its tracks. Breast cancer. And with it, medically induced menopause that no one her age expects to navigate.So she did what many high-achievers do when life becomes unmanageable. She threw herself into work. A demanding career in marketing became both her anchor and her escape. But the body keeps score. And eventually, hers sent a message she could no longer ignore. Her nervous system was running on empty. So she walked away from the noise of city life and started over, building a short-term rental business in the quiet countryside.This is a conversation about what happens when you finally stop outrunning yourself, and about slowing down not as a retreat, but as an act of profound reinvention. #pivotalmoment #breastcancerSend us Fan MailLesley Hawkins is a keynote speaker with her signature keynote "The Courage To Define and Own Your Worth", workshop developer (The Leadership Mirror and The Leaders Table), leadership strategist, and storyteller who believes growth happens in the everyday moments that define who we become. Drawing on years of experience leading, guiding, and mentoring teams, Lesley brings authenticity, curiosity, and heart to the conversation as each interaction is an opportunity to define what truly matters.One question.
