I invite you to join me for an engaging interview with Mishael Porembski, Author of 180 Your Life. I had the opportunity to interview Mishael at the Christian Bookseller Association Unite 2017 conference in Cincinnati, OH. Mishael Porembski is a 20-year network news veteran and Southeastern Emmy Award winning documentarian. Mishael used her journalism skills to interview and compile a winning team of experts – Bethany Rutledge, Ilana Katz, MS, RD, CCSD and Dr. Bridget Heneghan – along with detailed research, providing a fresh, healthy approach to grief recovery. Tested by the real-life widows of Mishael’s nonprofit, Team Lady 180, the principles of 180 Your Life were gleaned from the experience and success of bereaved women who decided to become a team with a common goal, train body mind and spirit, and create triumph in their lives by crossing a finish line and helping others.
