Andy Leigh Ptacek of New Again: Healing Through Perspective

Andy Ptacek got her start in TV as a Rocky Mountain Emmy nominee for a series she produced at ABC-15 as an undergrad intern at Arizona State University’s prestigious Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Andy then went on to work in public relations, but when she became pregnant with her first son, she decided to start her own business and work on her own terms. At the peak of the 2008 recession, Andy co-founded Liquis Digital.

10+ years, a thriving business, and another child later, Andy was diagnosed with brain cancer. It rocked everything. First, in a scary way. Then, in a grateful way. The journey was agonizing at times, but perspective taught her that she wasn’t damaged. The experience actually grew her self-awareness, her ability to love, her patience, her worldview, and her faith.

The “old Andy” had grown into something new –something better– and she believes we all are capable of this, even without a massively traumatic experience to shake us awake. Her new perspective and desire to help others see their growth over their perceived damage inspired the release of her debut novel and best selling book, New Again: Healing Through Perspective.
