I interviewed Cathy Perkins during the February 13, 2010 edition of Push the Reset Button, my Blogtalk Radio show.

One afternoon Cathy Perkins took a nap and woke up to find her leftside paralyzed. She had no idea that this event was the beginning of a journey to a whole new life. It took her nearly 6 years to decide that she was done being depressed about what had happened to the life and career she knew.

At that point she discovered WordPress, software which is used for blogging and creating websites. She got really excited about the software and what it could do. She started blogging and teaching people to use WordPress. Her passion overrode her fear and enabled her to do things beyond her comfort zone.

Today she has a thriving business and is living her dream.

“What you think is what you are,” says Cathy. “When I stopped thinking of myself as disabled I started to be able to walk better.”
