"Transforming and Thriving," hosted by 3 best friends (Brooke, Stacie, and Neelia) is a podcast dedicated to showcasing the stories of resilient women who have persevered through pivotal transitions and/or traumas. In this episode, Li Saul delivers a powerful and raw account of her extraordinary journey to recovery. In January 2019, a seemingly minor head injury spiraled into a life-threatening ordeal, resulting in a subdural hematoma and brain bleed. Li's health plummeted, taking her from a vibrant 117 pounds to a fragile 85 pounds, fighting for survival.

She bravely details the harrowing cascade of physical symptoms and demanding treatments she endured. From the relentless buzzing in her head that stole her sleep to contracting the potentially fatal C. Diff infection during the pandemic, Li faced unimaginable challenges. She even underwent a fecal transplant procedure, a testament to her unwavering will to live.

This episode isn't just about survival; it's about transformation. Li shares how her spiritual practices deepened and evolved through these trials, becoming a cornerstone of her healing process. But her story doesn't end with recovery. Driven by her experiences, Li has become a beacon of hope in her community. As part of a faith-based group in her community called The Women of Encouragement, she leads impactful outreach efforts, providing support and resources to those facing their own health battles and other challenges.

Beyond her community work, Li's life is flourishing. She recently celebrated a joyful marriage surrounded by loved ones, and she's found professional fulfillment as the founder of a thriving advertising agency, where she's committed to positively impacting the lives of her employees.

Join us as Li Saul shares her incredible story of resilience, healing, and the power of giving back.
