Next Episode: Bonus Ashley Wellman

Vera-Lee, an ordinary woman who has harnessed the power of creative energy and a powerful determination to overcome immense adversity in her own life including several disabilities, chronic illness, multiple near death experiences and surviving domestic violence and sexual assault. 

Vera-Lee discovered her unique artistic abilities as a form of communication through her recovery where she was unable to find words to verbalize her trauma. Years later her voice disappeared again due to life saving treatment to keep her airway open by paralyzing her vocal cords and again she used her artworks as a form of communication and healing energy. She is here today to introduce the WhyMe movement and WhyMe podcast The ultimate exploration from adversity to your unique advantage.

Please note the voice appears strained as this was recorded following a loss of voice (for 3 weeks) due to vocal cord dysfunction complications. You can contact Vera-Lee for more information about her vocal cord dysfunction on social media @Vera-LeeOriginal.
