We present this episode in memory of Stefanie Ann Cronin (Agent Cronin), beloved WWT family member since the beginning of our journey 8 years ago. Stefanie lost her battle with cancer this year, taken from us far too soon. We hold her dearly in our hearts.

In 2007 Edie Littlefield Sundby was diagnosed with stage-4 cancer of the gallbladder, and was told she only had 3 months to live. Determined to remain resilient, she has become the first person to walk the 1,600 mile El Camino Real de las Californias mission trail, after losing most of her right-lung. Edie credits walking with saving her life.

In today's episode Edie relays her incredible journey; from growing up in rural Oklahoma as the youngest of 12, wearing dresses her mother made out of flour sacks, to being a sales executive at IBM and tech entrepreneur, to author of her 2017 memoir published by HarperCollins; The Mission Walker. Edie and Lisa Mae Brunson - host of the Podcast and founder of Wonder Women Tech - connect on the deepest of levels as they discuss the effects of cancer, the importance of vulnerability, and what it means to be resilient on the path to life.

Today's pioneering woman is Georgia O'Keeffe. Georgia O'Keeffe was a 20th century American painter and pioneer of American modernism. Best known for her canvases depicting flowers, skyscrapers, animal skulls, and Southwestern landscapes.
