What happens when life completely changes course?

In this episode of Braving the Brightside, I sit down with cancer thriver, speaker, and coach Zoraida Morales to discuss resilience, healing, identity, and the choice to build a life by design rather than by default.

After thirteen years of chemotherapy, a difficult divorce, and countless moments of uncertainty, Zoraida shares how she transformed pain into purpose and discovered that joy isn't something we find—it's something we choose.

This is a powerful conversation about rebuilding, self-discovery, and becoming the person you were always meant to be.
