9. Suleika Jaouad: Learning to Live Along Fault Lines

Hope Still Wins with Ben Higgins

“If we live long enough, we have experiences where our life gets upended.”

Suleika Jaouad is an Emmy Award-winning journalist and celebrated TED speaker, the author of the instant New York Times bestselling memoir Between Two Kingdoms, which walks us through her journey of healing and self-discovery after a diagnosis of leukemia at the age of twenty-two and given only a 35% chance of survival.

Grounded, generous, and deeply present are just a few words to describe this week’s amazing guest. Ben and Suleika discuss what happens when we’re forced to shed an identity, how to reimagine our relationship to risk, how to "suffer well," and how she found purpose within her unique limitations. This is a truly inspiring and uplifting conversation that will have you inquiring about the ways in which you, too, have walked through the interruptions of your own life.
