Gladys is internationally known for her ground-breaking work in holistic medicine. She's been honored for being a pioneer, she’s been to Afghanistan teaching women safer birth practices that led to a 47% decrease in infant mortality rates in that area. Gladys has been inducted into the Arizona’s Women Hall of Fame, and the impact of her work has reached hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.

She accomplished this and so much more and did it through a time when women weren’t even doctors. Talk about resilience and true wisdom! Gladys is testament to the power of a life well-lived and filled with love.

I hope you’re ready to be blown away. We jump straight into Gladys’ shock, humiliation and unexpected victory after being publicly divorced by her partner of 46 years, and why on Earth she literally put herself in his shoes.

Gladys is the original 103-year-old boss-babe before babes were bossing and voicing their opinions. She’s sharp, fierce, and living her best fulfilled life full of love that has led to 6 life lessons that every woman going through something needs to hear today.

If you’ve been through a painful divorce or breakup, if you know what it’s like to not have a voice, and you find yourself struggling some days to even see the simple moments of life then this episode is the medicine you need.
