2 LIVES - STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION
Rod Nordland, author of "Waiting For The Monsoon," doesn't plan to die from an incurable brain cancer. He's a survivor — of violence, war, and now disease.
"Although it's been terrible, I wouldn't change it back, his partner Leila Segal says. "Even though I was in love with him and I loved him before, I would never have got the relationship I now have with this man unless this had happened. Not only to him, to me too, because of course I've had to change."
"Learning to love and express love was a very important part of my second life," Nordland says.

We're working hard on season 10 of 2 Lives, which we'll be bringing you just in time to kick off your summer. In the meantime I thought I'd share a bit about 2 Lives origin story.
The following is a speech Laurel gave at the Flagstaff Women's Leadership Summit.
I love stories. I love listening to them. I love watching them. I love reading them. And I love making them. But when I'm consuming stories, I'm tuning out the world and my inner voice – my source of creativity. This a story about how I tuned back into my source.
