What if your greatest challenge became your greatest calling?

In this unforgettable 100th episode of Secrets in Medical Device Sales™, Cindy and Lisa sit down with two powerhouse women who turned fear into purpose—Tina Valbh and Jessica Krauser. These warriors didn’t just survive a life-altering diagnosis; they chose to rise, speak out, and change lives. From breast cancer to early-onset Parkinson’s, their stories are proof that grit, resilience, and purpose can ignite movements. This is an episode about redefining strength, finding your voice, and building something bigger than yourself—even in the face of uncertainty.

Whether you're in sales, in a storm, or just in need of hope—this one will stay with you long after the episode ends. Cheers to 100 and beyond!
