Sara is an award-winning author and speaker. Her mission is to inspire and impact people's lives so that they can overcome doubt and fear and have the confidence and courage to build a successful career.

In this episode, Sara shares her story of growing up in Cambodia and the hardship she faced when the Khmer Rouge took control of the country in 1975.

During those times, Sara was forced to do manual labor in rice fields and labor camps under harsh conditions with little food and fear of illness or death.

Sara escaped from a concentration camp twice and eventually reunited with her family after being separated for four years.

Her story is about finding hope, purpose, and strength through love for her family, friendship, and faith in God during extreme adversity.

Sara wrote her book and shared her story to inspire others facing challenges by showing that there can be hope even in the darkest times.

Lastly, Sara encourages you to find someone who genuinely cares for you, as their love will strengthen you. Also, always seek the positive aspects in any situation, as there's goodness to be found even in challenging times.

Kelly Baader’s story is a powerful, spiritual, and transformational testament to one who has lived out the pathway of navigating adverse life events and emerged to a life of peace, prosperity, and purpose.

Sara Im’s story shows the human capacity for resilience and how sharing one's experiences can positively impact others.

There's a particular kind of alchemy that happens when serious things meet sincere laughter, and that's the space where you'll find Cancer and Comedy: Helping Cancer Impacted People to Cope with Hope and Humor. Hosted by Dr. Brad Miller, this podcast emerged from a deeply personal place. Fresh into retirement after 43 years as a pastor, Brad received a prostate cancer diagnosis during the Christmas season of 2022. His instinctive reaction-to laugh as a way to keep from crying-sparked a mission. Each episode is built on the belief that those touched by cancer are not done living, and that facing the grim with a grin is a powerful form of resilience. You'll hear conversations that blend candid stories from the cancer journey with a genuine, often surprising, sense of humor. It’s not about dismissing the difficulty, but about discovering pockets of light and levity within it. Brad brings his unique perspective as both a longtime spiritual guide and a current patient, creating dialogues that are as educational about mental and physical wellness as they are uplifting. This isn't a lecture; it's a companionable audio experience for anyone seeking to fortify their spirit with hope and an honest, sometimes healing, laugh. Tune in for a podcast that redefines strength, proving that coping can be a creative, and even comedic, act of self-improvement.
