How does faith play into your daily life? Do you lean on faith when there seems to be nothing else to lean on? Dorsey Ross was born with a congenital disability known as Apert’s Syndrome. When Dorsey was born, his forehead was pushed outward, his nose and mouth were pushed inward, and his fingers and toes were fused, meaning he had no individual movement of them. Doctor’s gave his parents no hope for his survival and advised them to put him into an institution. In this episode of The SwitchPoint Project, host Shawn P Neal sits down with Dorsey to learn how his faith has been a pillar in his life and inspired him to share his story with millions through his speaking career.

This week, Shawn P Neal talks to Renée Dieffenderfer. In 2012, her father passed away from cancer, 9 months before she was diagnosed with her own cancer, Hodgkins Lymphoma. During that time, she
found her inner artist who gave her joy, peace, and strength. She chose watercolors to help cope with the side effects of chemo and cancer. With a passion for serving others and her business background, she founded Creations for Cures in March of 2016. Today she leads a team of volunteers, bringing the
healing power of art to children battling cancer and other serious illnesses. Her vision includes bringing their art program to hospitals all over the country, providing job opportunities, and empowering women and people of color, while breaking through the ceiling in the non-profit sector.

Kelly Wood is the Founder and CEO of Novella Rotational.
Before founding Novella Rotational USA, Kelly was the co-founder of a similar
company using rotational therapy science to improve lives. As a true believer
in rotational therapy, she watched the company veer far away from the original
goal of helping people; women in the manufacturing business understand that
this male-dominated industry is changing. That’s when she knew things could be
done better. As a mompreneur of four beautiful children, her children and
relatives motivated Kelly to push onward as a serial entrepreneur on her journey
to becoming a female leader in manufacturing. Shortly after, she founded Novella
Rotational USA.
"As true rotational therapy advocates, we realized its mission to help others
live a higher quality of life has no price. Seeing patients walk pain-free after
years of recovery leaves quite the impression. That’s what it is all about at
Novella Rotational USA."
