Dealing with the loss of several jobs through the years, the loss of many loved ones, health issues, and physical abuse, have only made her stronger. In her seminars, Bradley speaks openly and honestly about her life, lessons learned, and wisdom gained. And she shares all that with her audiences, so they come to realize they’re not alone, and that they, too, can come through on the other side - stronger, wiser, and more compassionate.
