Tracey Conway
Tracey Conway Was 38 When Her Life Changed Forever
The Emmy-winning actress was taping a television comedy show when she literally dropped dead from Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Twenty minutes later, paramedics shocked her heart into beating again. Overcoming 20-to-1 odds, she survived and turned her miraculous recovery into poignant yet laugh-out-loud presentations that have wowed everyone from maximum-security inmates to Oprah Winfrey.
Tracey's inspiring, informative talks "Drop Dead Gorgeous!" and "Beating the Odds" are rousing anthems that motivate women (and men!) to get passionate about their health and life priorities. Grab-your-tissues sniffles alternate with rousing belly laughs in presentations that have entertained and engaged audiences from Boise to Budapest.
Aside from being an internationally acclaimed speaker, Tracey is an accomplished writer. A contributor to the Huffington Post, and author of a book of essays, Cross My Heart and Hope to Live! she also contributed the lead story in Chicken Soup for the Soul, Healthy Living: HEART DISEASE and received two Emmy nominations for her writing on Almost Live! Sought for her effervescent-yet-educated presence, she served as a panelist on Second Opinion, the PBS series showing how doctors navigate their way through tough medical decisions.
Tracey regularly keynotes Go Red For Women! events for American Heart Association chapters across the country and involved with several national organizations promoting the use of AEDS (automated external defibrillators) and the therapy of ICDs (internal cardiac devices) for heart arrhythmia disorders.
