About this presentation

Mali Phonpadith arrived to the United States when she was five years old as a refugee after fleeing war-torn Laos with her family. Against all odds and shaped by a tumultuous journey filled with tragedies and losses, she shows us that we are capable of experiencing joy after pain, taking flight after the falls, and healing through the hurting.

Clarity of vision and purpose helped her to claim her unique mission in this world. She now thrives as a business owner and community champion. She talks about how having a strong sense of a purpose fuels us to abundantly share our gifts as a service to others, expands our worldview of what’s possible and increases our spiritual capacity to thrive, evolve and soar.
