What makes Dr. Maggie Kang unique as a speaker is her ability to speak from personal experience as a physician mother whose daughter was diagnosed with a rare disease.
After learning to survive and thrive after life threw her a curveball, audiences trust Maggie and want to hear her message. They trust Maggie to teach them the same life-changing tools that helped her create a new narrative. After her daughter's diagnosis, Maggie transitioned to become a caregiver to her daughter, speaker, rare disease advocate, coach and entrepreneur.
Dr. Maggie Kang is a board-certified radiologist trained at Yale New Haven Hospital and a mom of two. She certified to become a Life Coach in 2021 to help her become a better caregiver to her daughter after her daughter was diagnosed with a rare disease. When Maggie brought the coaching tools into her family life, she discovered the transformative power of the coaching tools on her and her daughter's mental and physical health.
She is committed to helping others create possibility and resilience in their lives - by taking control of their narratives.
