I have interviewed hundreds of authors, experts, and 'gurus' on my shows over the years, and Michelle DeAngelis possesses qualities that are truly unique. On top of being brilliant, insightful, engaging, and entertaining, Michelle shows up completely without ego, without hype, and from a place of such pristine integrity that it is clear that she - as much as anyone who has ever written a book - "walks the walk."

Turning negatives into positives is what Michelle's message is all about. As a victim of a violent crime as well as a cancer survivor, I've learned the value of turning lemons into lemonade. As president and visionary of the Cancer Schmancer Movement, I am putting that message into motion.
