How Gratitude Helps Healing with Holly Bertone

Holly Bertone beat both breast cancer and Hashimoto’s. She’s the author of the book, Thriving in the Workplace with Autoimmune Disease: Know Your Rights, Resolve Conflict, and Reduce Stress, the first book ever to educate others on Autoimmune Disease as a legal disability in the U.S. workplace. She is an authority on autoimmune disease in the workplace and she’s a gratitude evangelist. Holly is currently the President and CEO of Pink Fortitude and founder of the health and wellness website pinkfortitude.com. 

Holly’s passion is to help women view their chronic illness as a gift and unwrap resilience using a proven method to build fortitude with gratitude. Holly joined me to discuss how we can accelerate healing when we proactively practice gratitude.

In this interview we focus on gratitude and how to develop a mindset that moves you from victim to victor — or the empowered hero of your own healing journey and your life.
