Mayda Poc is the embodiment of Resilience. She seems to have lived many lives in the span of one lifetime...and she’s still young.

But it wasn’t until she received the news that she had advanced stage cancer that Mayda turned her life and career around in order to pursue her passion for being of service to others, particularly overachievers like herself.
