The heading for this episode is just the beginning of this amazing and inspirational story. Jean Marie Keevins discusses her positive attitude to something that could have completely  destroyed her career and her life in general. The night was Xmas Eve, when she badly broke her Knee Cap on the stairs to the subway in New York. Jean Marie remembers the night that would change her life forever, but in a positive way, a message from the universe to stop, breathe, and recalibrate. We all hear people say 'everything happens for a reason' but it's often hard to understand that when negative things happen to us. Jean Marie had to give up her amazing job in Film and TV, and in doing so realized that she simply hadn't  stopped moving for years. The knee, was the catalyst for change, and good change too. To make things more challenging, she then got Covid, and it was a long one. Listen to the full episode, because it really puts trust in the universe into perspective. It's an amazing, upbeat, and often funny tale of taking life as it comes. Thanks Jean Marie, its an awesome episode!
