Summary: When the worst headache of her life turned into a near-death experience, CNBC’s senior personal finance correspondent Sharon Epperson was forced to stop, reevaluate and reinvent almost every facet of her life —including how she manages her family and career.

From emergency savings to having the proper insurances and estate-planning documents in place, her story will inspire you to take a closer look at your personal protection plan (or create one!).
