Episode Description
Writer and Natural Health Consultant Sheryl Lynn struggled to cope with the deaths of her mother, best friend, last close relative, and another dear friend within 6 months, along with the abrupt departure of multiple friends and loved ones who'd promised to be there for her. Struggling with these losses, her bereavement was made worse by others who did not offer love or compassion. A year later, she experienced broken heart syndrome (takotsubo cardiomyopathy) and a disabling stroke 2 weeks apart. When her beloved dog was diagnosed with cancer, she theorized if the perceived loss of love could create a marked decline in her health, then showering her dog with love could possibly create a miracle in healing. Without surgery and conventional cancer treatment, her dog is cancer-free! Sheryl has used what she's learned to further her own recovery. Join Cella Zappia and her guest Sheryl Lynn for an inspiring hour devoted to sharing ways the healing power of love can change our lives.

Just as a caterpillar sheds its skin and becomes a butterfly, Cella's life fell apart and she too was reborn. From the outside, life appeared perfect. As is the reality for many women, Cella thought it was her personal obligation to take care of everyone’s needs but her own. That is exactly what she did up until May 13, 2008. She was married to a military man for twenty years who was often absent during that time due to his job. This left her to raise two boys, work full time in the legal field, all while thinking it was perfectly normal to run herself into the ground. Cella’s own battle began as the perfect storm of circumstances came together to initiate her downward spiral into illness and depression. Feeling hopeless that she would never salvage the person she was before, Cella felt her only solution out of the pain was to take her own life. As an attempt survivor, she learned that the greatest resource was the healer within. Now she works with people to help them rekindle their passion for life. As a certified Nia instructor and Ageless Grace educator, Cella is also versed in many healing modalities including Qigong, Tai Chi, nutrition and wellness. Through speaking, writing, and the dance arts, as well as the creation of a woman's support group, it is Cella's desire to help others to manifest and transform their lives to find their personal empowerment. A true testament that all things are possible, she is walking her talk while teaching others to do the same.
