LeeAnn Tripp is on a “re-mission” to live more boldly and inspire others along the way.
In 2014, she was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor that has very bleak odds of survival. Through her health journey from diagnosis to treatment, and now remission, she says she learned about resiliency and living more compassionately.
Her new book, Finding the Rainbow, The Other Side of a Cancer Journey shares her story, and encourages others through their own challenges.
Check out the full interview to hear more about LeeAnn’s remarkable journey to finding her rainbow.
