Today Valentina Di Giovanni joins me on the podcast to discuss how Buddhism and meditation helped her family heal from a tragic accident. Valentina is from Rome and currently lives in London with her husband Max and their three children. Several years ago, Valentina and Max decided to go on one last trip to Australia before settling down to start a family. While there, Max was involved in a surfing accident. He nearly drowned, and ended up being paralyzed. We discuss how Valentina and Max began meditating to help with healing, about their conversion to Buddhism, and their miracle wedding where Max was able get out of the wheelchair and walk down the aisle. Valentina emanates peace and love and teaches us how we can be more mindful and present in our lives.
