There's so many lessons in there, so many lessons of hope, of survival, and with that I mean the positive thing, the need to recognize that there's a problem, to stop to think, to adapt, to change, and it's okay from now and then to feel really, really sad about something and to have a pity party.
Picture this: you’re diagnosed with not one, but two rare types of cancer. That’s exactly what happened to Sabrina Walker Hernandez. In this compelling episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Sabrina to discuss her remarkable journey from battling Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma to becoming a successful consultant. Raised in a predominantly black community with limited opportunities, Sabrina’s story is one of grit, determination, and the power of human connection.
Sabrina opens up about how her cancer diagnosis made her re-evaluate her life and career. With her husband’s support, she decided to retire from her stressful job and channel her energy into something meaningful. This led to the creation of Supporting World Hope, an initiative aimed at helping small nonprofits thrive. Drawing from her 15 years of experience as a nonprofit CEO, Sabrina shares invaluable insights into the challenges these organizations face, from fundraising to board development and marketing.
But it’s not just about the professional hurdles. Sabrina also delves into the emotional and psychological aspects of her journey. She talks about the importance of staying positive, the role of community support, and how she found purpose through her work. Her story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the incredible things we can achieve when we refuse to give up.
Whether you’re dealing with your own health struggles, working in the nonprofit sector, or simply looking for some inspiration, this episode is packed with practical advice and uplifting moments. Tune in to hear how Sabrina turned a life-altering diagnosis into a catalyst for change and discover how you too can find purpose in the face of adversity.
