Navigating Life,
A registered nurse since 1988, Yvonne Heath has worked in the United States and Canada in many areas including emergency, intensive care, chemotherapy and hospice. She became disheartened by our society’s reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for grief, transitions and challenges—causing excessive suffering in life and at the end of life. She suffered too, not knowing how to do it differently. In 2015 she took a leap of faith, left her nursing career and blazed a new trail to create social change. She shares her message with heart and humour as an Inspirational Speaker, with her book Love Your Life to Death, online program and as a television and radio host. In 2019, she delivered her TEDx Talk—Transforming Grief, by Just Showing Up.
