Betty Ann Connelly travelled the world for over 28 years as a flight attendant. She also volunteered with the Canadian Red Cross for five years, teaching violence prevention in schools and to community groups.
After retiring from flying in 2003, Betty started her own consulting business, giving workshops to private corporations, governments and non-profits. She also enjoyed performing stand-up comedy at a club in Calgary.
Her life suddenly changed in 2007 when a car accident resulted in a traumatic brain injury. The experience revived long-buried memories of a harrowing past that required all her courage to face. Her memoir, Resilience: My Life of Flight, Fear, and Forgiveness, is the story of her escape from the haunting darkness of trauma and the freedom, peace and joy that come from letting go.
