I consider myself bilingual, I speak American and Canadian, but if you want a lesson in true linguistic flexibility, go to Switzerland where you can listen to people seamlessly shift between 3-4 languages in the course of a discussion - mind blowing.

“Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.”

About four years ago, a mom of seven school age kids, who had a solid career and lived in a nice mountain town, decided to do something illogical. She applied to medical school, moved with her family to another state and put her head down for 45 straight months of intensive study, training and medical rotations.

With some huge, risky changes coming up for my family and business, the last few months have been some of the most stressful I’ve faced. My mind played out everything that could go wrong and how failure was inevitable and success unattainable.
