The Cubicle Crashing Podcast

On the 10th episode of my podcast, I got to interview Mona Motwani, a human rights attorney turned entrepreneur.  This episode is very special to me. Though we talk about her transition from non-profit lawyer to entrepreneur, it is her story about survival and perseverance of overcoming lyme disease that took centre stage. Mona was diagnosed with lyme disease in 2008, but her health had already taken a spin for the worst as of 2005. By 2007, she could barely function even to walk to the bathroom, and had to quit her job as a human rights attorney.  Eight years of being bedridden and needing the support of others to help her with basic day to day like eating and  going to the bathroom was a huge change for someone like Mona, whose type A personality never gave her permission to ask for help, as she was the person that dedicated her life at the time to helping others in need with her career.
