Erica Tucci had a full life as a corporate manager of a Fortune 500 company, a healing arts business owner and an author of three books. It all came to a screeching halt in June 2011 when she had a stroke. During her recovery, she has gained much wisdom about what’s really important in life and she has re-entered the world with a new mission in life. She now wishes to use her story as an inspiration for others facing life challenges, which we all have, big or small. Along with her first three books – Moms and Their Young Spirited Boys (1998), Anything is Possible, a novel based on a true love story (2010) and Zesty Womanhood at 40 and Beyond (2010), she is currently working on a book on healing entitled Radiant Survivor: How to Shine and Thrive through Recovery from Stroke, Cancer, Abuse, Addiction and Other Life-Altering Experiences, which is due to launch around Thanksgiving 2013. She also wishes to continue the work she was doing before her stroke, helping women find their "yin radiance" through their authentic voice and their own healing. And to help others going through their own life-altering experiences, she is developing a trauma recovery coaching program based on her Radiant Survivor book.
