What can a near death experience, teach us about life?
Marie Nilsson was an intelligent, self-disciplined, and dedicated trainer in the health and fitness industry. She had high expectations of herself, which drove her to frequently confront new challenges. Marie possessed an insatiable appetite for learning and development. She was in a word, relentless.
That is until one day while hiking in Poland she had a freak accident, falling an unthinkable 450 meters. Against all reason and to the astonishment of her doctors, she miraculously survived.
When she awoke from her coma months later, not really certain if she was dead or alive, she began to confront the greatest challenge she’d ever face, putting her body and her life back together. The road was excruciatingly painful and often infuriating. Marie had to re-discover how to walk, speak and do many of the little things in life that we take for granted, with great difficulty. Perhaps the most difficult thing for her to rediscover, was herself.
Marie had to reconcile that some of the things she used to focus on, in retrospect, were not that important after all. On the other side of death, she found what was most meaningful in life.
This episode is about love, gratitude, forgiveness, and healing. It’s an incredible story about an amazing human who only discovered after being broken, the parts of her, and us, that are unbreakable.
