Believe Big Podcast

It's been 10 years since Alison Gannett was diagnosed with "terminal" brain cancer and given approximately six months to live. 

How has she managed to beat the odds?

Cancer is not a "generalized" disease to be treated like you're on a conveyor belt.  It's an "individualized" condition, and Alison credits cancer for waking her up to the root causes of disease that were plaguing her.  She describes her "check engine" light as being on, yet ignored as she tried to push herself and prove herself in life (something we are all guilty of doing whether we have cancer or not).

This incredible story of self-discovery and positivity may be just what you need to hear today.  Join us on today's podcast as Alison and I talk about the importance of lab testing, knowing and acknowledging your family history, genetic makeup and so much more!

A cancer diagnosis is frightening.  A terminal diagnosis can be absolutely paralyzing.  But when  Jane McLelland was diagnosed with a second aggressive cancer in 1999, classified as terminal, she did not freeze.  Instead she dove headfirst into medical research because she knew she had nothing to lose.

We all travel, some of us more than others, and travel can be laced with all sorts of stressors and air-borne illness potential.   

As a frequent traveler, I have learned a lot about how to travel and stay healthy in the process.  I've found products that lend themselves to helping me keep my immune system functioning at it's best and this always leads to a more enjoyable trip!

Is it possible to LIVE with cancer?  The answer is YES! 

Today's podcast guest is Jenny Bradley, and she has been living and thriving with cancer for quite a number of years.  Proving that cancer does not have to be a "life sentence".  She's living her best life giving back to other cancer patients and proving that life does go on even after a diagnosis.

In her own words:  "I’ve been living with cancer for at least 7 years.  I was diagnosed 5 years ago, and misdiagnosed for 2 years before that.  But that bump didn’t get there overnight.  So I’ve probably been LIVING with cancer for a decade or so."

Would you like to begin the new year with a vision that's clear and focused?  Believe it or not, there is power in a single word.

Following the simple and powerful concept outlined in the book, One Word That Will Change Your Life, you can ditch the new year's resolution list and narrow your intentions with one word for the whole year that can drive success in your life.

Join me today as I interview Jimmy Page, co-author of One Word That Will Change Your Life, and my husband.   Jimmy will share personal stories of how one single word, when chosen with intent, can make all the difference in the new year ahead and his experience with this process from the past 23 years!
