Defining Moment: a doctor gets lost in China and emerges with a new life
Defining Moment contest winner Nidia Diaz traveled the globe to learn the secrets of eastern medicine, but it was an unexpected adventure that made the greatest impact on her. Paid for by Principal
In July, we asked readers to each tell us about their Defining Moment, with one person being selected to appear on our final podcast. The winner was Nidia Diaz, a doctor of eastern medicine who spent seven years in Asia and Europe searching for gurus who could teach her lesser-known methods of the practice. But instead, Nidia’s true enlightenment happened when she got lost on a hike in rural China.
Listen to Nidia’s Defining Moment.
