Ep. 25 | I am who I’m Meant to Be with Serial Entrepreneur Nancy Corcoran and Sister Jayne Nagy - Co-founder and Author behind We Love Joy Inc. 

  Summary: 

“...About three years ago, our lives changed drastically…” When Nancy’s granddaughter Ayla suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury during her birth, the course of her family's lives changed forever. Today, Nancy joins us to share her story and the story of so many others whose families are impacted by children living with special needs. 

Alongside Nancy, her sister Jayne joins us in the conversation, sharing her personal story of grief and their shared mission to “use their grief for good.” Their stories embody the definition of what goes around comes around, and I am honored to share their journeys with all of you.
