https://dreamvisions7radio.com/look-for-the-good/ BIO: Julia Fox Garrison grew up in in a loving, if chaotic, household with eight brothers—an upbringing that no doubt made her battle-ready for the fight of her life. At the age of 37, while busy raising a family and building a career, her plans and dreams were changed forever by a sudden and severe stroke. Thus, Julia began a journey of recovery, rediscovery, and reinvention. Out of adversity came an accomplished author, dedicated healthcare advocate, and powerful motivational speaker. To this day, she continues to overcome the effects of her stroke while sharing her message of patient-based healthcare and humanity-based business through her writings, talks, and presentations. “A stroke (literally) of luck helped define the essence of her life. Her inspirational story can help us find ours.” —Dr. Oz Wielding her trademark humor, unwavering optimism, and the wisdom of firsthand experience, Julia challenges her audience to take on the perspective of those they serve and lead.
