The Trek Within. Rob Sullivan on Cancer, a Heart Attack He Almost Missed and the Magic He Found in Both.

from Rochester Speaks

Rob Sullivan, speaker and author of The Trek Within, joins the show to share one of the most remarkable personal journeys you will hear on Rochester Speaks, starting with a cancer diagnosis on his 48th birthday and ending with a dream that saved his life years later.Rob talks about why he chose to go public about his illness, why he never used the word "have" to describe his cancer, and what shifted for him when he stopped thinking about fighting and started thinking about walking alongside what his body was trying to teach him. He also shares the story of a dream so vivid and specific that it led him to an urgent care on the way to get shrimp tacos and saved him from a widow maker heart attack with a 95% blocked artery.The Trek Within is available through your local independent bookseller, Amazon and Barnes and Noble.https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-trek-within-rob-ryan-sullivan/1145642779https://www.amazon.com/dp/1962071340?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback
