Becky Korinek is a former teacher, patient advocate, writer, and lifelong learner whose life has been shaped by resilience, humor, and curiosity. In the show, Korinek talks about life as a teacher and what chronic illness and recovery taught her, and why creativity, play, and new beginnings matter in every season of life.

After a thirty-year career in education, Korinek now serves as Director of Business Development for Outreach Patient Advocates in Omaha, where her work is informed by a lifetime as a patient herself, from severe childhood asthma to recovery from major back surgery. Korinek is also a reader, writer, artist, improviser, and lifelong learner who has described this chapter of life as her “next great adventure.”
