Ann Papayoti has endured some of life’s most brutal blows—her college best friend deliberately stealing her high school boyfriend; the loss of an infant child just shortly after he was thought to be out of danger, a belligerent and abusive husband, a child born with epilepsy, a family suicide, being bitten by a poisonous snake that resulted in months of chronic illness before being diagnosed, relinquishing a cherished foster teen whose actions threatened Ann’s family, and much more…

And despite them all, Ann found the gift hidden within each of these experiences. The gift of choice in how to respond to the challenge. In her new book, The Gift of Shift: Discover the Key Within to Unlock Your Best Life, Ann uses many of these experiences to show how one can open that gift lovingly. Instead of freezing up, becoming resistant or giving in to depression, resignation or other unhealthy emotions, one can choose a better, more life- affirming, adaptable approach that can lead to new possibilities and a better pathway forward.
