Becoming a Happier Person After Overcoming a Struggle

Perspective is everything! Life is certainly presenting some challenges these days, but how are you facing the changes to your daily life? Today I am pleased to welcome Dr. Noemi Cruz-Orcutt, DDS who practices dentistry in Mason City, Iowa. This is a fascinating bonus episode for you as she shares her incredible story of recovery after losing her practice to a fire. 

Hear her emotional journey from going through the shock of the loss, her immediate thoughts of her team and how they would be affected, the process of recovering, and the positive effects that ultimately dawned from this disaster. This timely episode clearly focuses on the importance of putting things in perspective and how gratitude can get you through a crisis. As Dr. Cruz-Orcutt says, “Trust that it is going to be fine… There is always a silver lining.”
