Age's Adventures Podcast

"Eight months ago I lost my job, seven months ago I was diagnosed with invasive nasal cancer, and right now I am sitting in total limbo waiting for a surgeon to use a piece of my rib to reconstruct my nose..."

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Age’s Adventures Podcast. This show is built on real, raw personal experiences—from navigating life’s unexpected crises to building resilience and self-reliance in the deepest corners of the Canadian wilderness.

In my videos on my YouTube channel, you’ve watched me navigate tough terrain across Vancouver Island, but this is the story of the hardest, most unpredictable detour of my entire life. In this episode, we talk about the reality of being completely unmapped—and how we figure out the adventure ahead.

What we cover in this episode:

• The One-Two Punch: Losing a corporate job and finding a lump on the same month.

• The Shocking Diagnosis: Moving from a "benign" outlook straight into Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

• The Reality of Healing: The unglamorous complications of recovery and the mental defeat of needing multiple surgeries.

• The Rebuild: Facing a total nasal reconstruction using a rib graft, and the agonizing mental game of sitting in surgical limbo.

• The Crossroads: Navigating regular EI, facing severe corporate burnout, and balancing the practical dream of transitioning into full-time content creation.
