Thriving with a Life-Threatening Diagnosis, with Celeste Watkins-Hayes
How does one THRIVE in spite of an HIV-positive diagnosis? Or any other life-threatening diagnosis, for that matter?
Celeste Watkins-Hayes shares what she's learned over 15 years tracking the lives of more than 100 women living with HIV/AIDS:
— How they go from "dying from" to "living with" to "thriving despite"...
— What tools help them thrive...
— How they reclaim their power, back from the disease or prognosis...
Her book, Remaking a Life: How Women Living with HIV/AIDS Confront Inequality, is available now.
You can find details on the Thrive With Morella page: https://www.thrivewithmorella.com/podcast
Produced with facilities provided by Vermont Community Access Media (VCAM).
