Welcome to another empowering episode of Women of Impact. I'm your host, Lisa Bilyeu, and today, we have a deeply inspiring conversation with Dr. Edith Eger, a Holocaust survivor and esteemed author of "The Ballerina of Auschwitz." This episode is packed with profound wisdom and life-changing insights.
Dr. Eger shares touching stories from her time in Auschwitz, discussing the incredible resilience, imagination, and humor that helped her and her sister Magda survive the unimaginable. Joining us as a contributor, Jordan enriches our conversation with personal reflections on maintaining hope and finding mental freedom even in the most difficult circumstances.
We'll delve into the power of expressing feelings without judgment, overcoming fears, and the transformative impact of positive thinking and self-reflection. Dr. Eger's journey, her unyielding positive spirit at 97 years old, and the importance of maintaining a "North Star" purpose, will inspire you to embrace change, forgive, and find beauty even in adversity.
