Freelance writer and blogger Sara Navratil from Sara Liza Life has a passion for showing others the power of their imagination to rewrite their lives. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and being raised by a narcissistic parent, her life imploded when she began suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at age 37. That was her wakeup call, and over the past 10 years she’s rewritten her life, going from victim to victor. Now she teaches others the power they have to do the same.
