ACP136 Overcome Challenges in Your Life and Career with Janine Shepherd

Today I have a special guest who has overcome challenges both physical and financial in her life. Janine Shepherd is the author of Defiant : A Broken Body Is Not A Broken Person. Janine was a lifelong athlete, who trained to be part of the Australian Olympic Ski Team in Calgary in 1998. She was recently chosen for Maria Shriver’s Architect of the Week.

During a training bike ride from Sydney to the Blue Mountains she was hit by a truck and nearly killed. She became a paraplegic who learned to let go of the trajectory her life was on, and embraced a new course learning to fly. She became a Private Pilot, Flight Instructor, and is now an Aerobatic Pilot. She is also a university graduate, mother of 3, best selling author, and a speaker.
