What if the illness you fear most isn’t the real disease?

In this episode of Things Your Mother Never Told You, I sit down with Anita Moorjani, who was once given just hours to live. In 2006, Anita fell into a coma from end-stage lymphoma—her organs shutting down, her family was told to say goodbye.

But in the space between life and death, she discovered a profound truth: fear is the lie, and self-abandonment is the real disease.

Anita returned to her body with a mission—and a message that would save her life: You are not here to be small, sick, or silent.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How a lifetime of fear and self-betrayal manifested as terminal cancer

• The near-death experience that awakened her to her true power

• Why self-love isn’t selfish—it’s life-saving

• How women can reclaim their worth, voice, and vitality

This is not just a story about healing. This conversation is a call to remember who you truly are and to live fearlessly—because your life depends on it.

If something inside you stirred, share this with a woman who’s ready to stop apologizing and start remembering who she is.
