Life is a lot like a game of cards. We all are dealt a hand and whether good or bad we have to play that hand according to the rules of the game of life. There is no option to give our hand back to the dealer in hopes of getting a better hand in return. Unfortunately, sometimes the hand we are dealt is less than desirable. Everything from the family we are born into, to the unexpected divorce, to the loss of a loved one can leave us feeling like we got the short end of the stick. One thing for sure is learning how to win with the cards you are dealt is the only option we have at times.

On today’s show JJ Panah, author, real-estate executive, and community leader will share how she has learned to win with the cards she’s been dealt. As a young child, her family was exiled from their home country Irian and forced to learn a new language, culture, and way of life. JJ holds nothing back as she shares how this experience has shaped how she loves and lives life to the fullest.  She gives us a sneak peek into her book, “Zodiac Lovers, I Remember”, which is a raw autobiography about her pursuit of love. JJ’s zest for life will leave you inspired to take the hand you’ve been dealt and do something amazing with it.
