A Practical Perspective. Earned Through Experience
I'm Vickie Lanthier. A military veteran. Registered Nurse. Author.
My perspective on adversity comes from a combination of lived experience and professional work. I've deployed overseas with the military, worked through unexpected challenges, built businesses, changed careers and learned that capability is developed through experience and deliberate action.
I don't believe in waiting for the perfect circumstances to start living.
I believe in building the capacity to meet life as it comes, and making the most of the opportunities along the way.
