Our health is one of our most valued treasures. It can take just a few days to go from feeling totally normal to losing everything. This is what happened to Chris Maxwell. In a few days he went from fully functioning to being hooked up to a ventilator, fighting for his life. He was diagnosed with Guillain Barre syndrome. Nine months in the hospital, fighting for his physical and mental health, really put him to his test. Today we have Molly & Chris share their story from their perspective as a couple (with 4 children) whose life was turned upside down in a few days. They’ve lived through a tough challenge and came through with courage, tears, laughter, and a whole lot of gratitude. And now they are sharing their story on the Leadership Live podcast with Daphna.
