Ann Papayoti could easily have become bitter. She lost an infant child, had another born with epilepsy, and was married to a belligerent and abusive husband. But Ann chose to move forward. Today, she is a successful author and life coach who helps others overcome their setbacks. Ann teaches others to “shift” and embrace a life-affirming perspective. This week she talks with roving reporter Rotbart about how to transform hardships into blessings.
