And this Sunday SoulDay conversation is a masterclass in resilience, purpose, and rising after unthinkable adversity.
From escaping Communist Romania as a teenager →

to becoming a maternal-fetal medicine specialist and global women’s health advocate…
Dr. Luissa shares how trauma shaped her, strengthened her, and ultimately empowered her to change the world.

In this episode, we explore:
✨ Trauma to Triumph — how she transformed unimaginable adversity into purpose
✨ Women’s Empowerment — her message that women are worthy, capable, and limitless
✨ Medicine & Mission — the passion behind her work in the U.S., Kenya, and Latin America
