In this presentation, I share my journey from long hospital stays to taking to the skies, and how a dream can become a lifeline when life gets tough. I’ll tell stories from flying around Australia and my 67-day around-the-world trip, and what those adventures taught me about purpose, persistence, and backing yourself. My goal is to remind you that dreams are worth fighting for, and sometimes they can be the very thing that can help you push through challenges.
