About this ebook

Are you frustrated by being constantly sidelined by your health? Do you feel like every time you dig into a project your chronic disease gets in the way? Do you worry that living with a chronic illness means you will never feel well enough to reach your goals?
In Beyond Powerful, Lala Jackson offers personal anecdotes of being an overachiever living with autoimmune disease—as well as inspiring, entertaining stories of go-getters who use the superpowers they’ve developed by dealing with chronic illness in order to reach massive goals.
If you are someone who lives with chronic health issues and are searching for a way to keep running toward exactly what you want to bring to the world, then Beyond Powerful has the answers you need!
“I’ve often said that I can’t regret living with autoimmune disease because that experience helped sculpt who I am. Beyond Powerful embraces this positive mindset and takes it to a whole new level, allowing us to appreciate the skills honed through the challenges of chronic illness and, even more importantly, giving us permission to be empowered and improved, yet never defined, by our diseases.” —Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD, New York Times–bestselling author of The Paleo Approach

About the author
Lala Jackson has been navigating the world of being an over-achieving go-getter who lives with chronic disease since she was 10 years old and diagnosed with autoimmune type 1 diabetes. She uses two machines – an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor, both of which are attached to her body 24/7 – to keep herself alive. However, chronic disease doesn’t run her life. She loves adventures, always has more than a few projects in the works, and doesn’t know how to do much of anything halfway. When not speaking or writing, Lala lives in Brooklyn, does work for a non-profit with a mission to cure type 1 diabetes, and loves traveling to literally anywhere with a swimmable beach, whipping up a paleo concoction, attempting to not fall over in yoga, throwing paint on a canvas, or flat out sleeping. Because knowing when to rest is everything. She grew up between Hawaii and Washington State, graduated from the University of Miami in Florida with a communications degree, has a heart for all things multicultural, and is obsessed with recognizing all of us who are beyond powerful – because chasing dreams while living with chronic disease is no small task. She’s also a Gryffindor. For more information, visit lalajackson.com. For speaking and writing inquiries, or for any other questions, email at lala@lalajackson.com.
