Emmilia O'Sullivan's book is called I Should Be F'N Dead!

After recording and producing her audiobook I can assure you that this brave young lady is here for a reason.

She has experienced among others, the following health challenges:
A kidney removed, nephrectomy, osteoporosis, spinal fusion, cardiac arrest, pulmonary embolism, kidney failure, sepsis, a kidney transplant, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, pneumonia, and a craniotomy.

Not only did she have to face all of these, incredibly she overcame each one.

Does she have a superpower and how the heck did she deal with everything over an intense 10-year period between her young age of 20 - 30 years old.

We discuss this and a whole lot more chatting on The Simone Feiler Podcast where Emmilia shares insights of what she went through and what she believes has helped her overcome everything to now being a published author and a soon to be podcaster and life coach.

If you're dealing with any health issues, in fact, any hardships whatsoever, this is a must listen chat and I highly recommend you listen to her outstanding audiobook, self-narrated by Emmillia herself called I Should Be F'N Dead! - Staying Positive Through a Sh1t Load of Heath Challenges.
