On this introductory episode of After the Crisis, Victoria introduces us to Mimi Novic. An England native, Mimi endured childhood illness that culminated in a virus that attacked her nervous system at the age of 19, leaving her unable to move or see. Listen in as Victoria and Mimi discuss the side effects of crises and the moment when you have to choose between the dark moments and enlightenment.
