We're back just in time for Wellness Month!

Carrie Lehtonen's second chance at life came at 31 years old when a blood clot in her coronary artery resulted in a heart attack. Carrie chose to pursue a second career in health and wellness to reduce the impact of heart disease. She left her corporate job and is now an author and founder of Firefly Community LLC. 

Carrie and Michelle discuss the importance of knowing family history of heart disease, recognizing symptoms, and the value of simple lifestyle changes. Carrie highlights how her experience led her to pursue health coaching, yoga, and a plant-based diet. She also talks about making small changes one step at a time.
