Hello Cancer Friends

How much do you love yourself? If you are like me, not nearly enough. Meet Miriam. She has built herself up and now she is helping others do the same. She's a self love coach and amazing photographer, bringing out the beauty of people one day at a time. I'm thrilled to have her on this show and I'm realizing how important self love is. I hope you feel the same!

Let's face it. Cancer is a bummer! I'm going to keep it real and share some bummers I've had on my mind. I'm going to let it all out and share with my friends. That's what Hello Cancer Friends is all about! I invite you to share your bummers too. I hope you will feel better, like I did, after I just let it out. 

Honestly, I'm all over the place on this episode. A few deep thoughts and a lot of "on top of the world!" thoughts. It's scan day, what do you expect? LOL! Do you know of a place more fun than Las Vegas? Meet my friend Coyal. He's the genius behind the podcast "Visit Vegas Places". On this episode I will be the one that is interviewed in this special edition episode where he branches out across this great country of ours to share with people a taste of our 50 states! I hope I did Wisconsin proud!! 

Life is hard sometimes. Stress is not my friend. In this episode, I'll keep it real and face stress head on. This does not mean we can't have some fun too! Kitten snuggles are just one way to make the blues go away! 

Meet Ivy! Ivy has incredible stories to tell. She's played many roles when it comes to cancer. She's been a caregiver, a patient and shares her knowledge of a healthy mind, body and spirit through her work as a health coach and the founder of the Pink Warrior Program. This wonderful interview opened my eyes to how much more there is to beating cancer than toxic medications. 

Prepare to be inspired. Josh tells his story from the eyes of a caretaker, a giver of hope and someone deeply touched by the life of a girl taken too soon. Thank you Josh, for sharing your cancer stories.  Xoxo!

Living stress free is my main goal since my cancer diagnosis. This means that when I want to do a crazy episode that has absolutely nothing to do with cancer, I can do it! I hope you enjoy this rogue episode featuring a new top ten list of most memorable school hot lunch dishes with contributions from the kids I grew up with, my siblings. I forgot to mention Christine. Her favorite was # 9 on the list. Shout out girlfriend!

Cancer is a bitch and so am I!! I will not let cancer stop me! It has motivated me to live my best life and throw caution to the wind. In this episode, I'll share my latest adventure. My rappel over the 14 story Hilton Hotel in Madison, WI. What started out as a good way for me to give back for all the support I've received since my diagnoses by raising money for Gilda's Club Madison, ended up to be much more than I could have dreamed of. I could not have done it without the support of my loving and generous family, friends and complete strangers! I've got audio from the moment I go down. You won't want to miss it. If you are under 18, ear muffs!!! 

The title says it all. Live your BEST LIFE! The time is now. Don't wait forever for happiness and joy. Find it and enjoy every moment. You are worth it!

Life is hard sometimes. That time for me is right now. Processing your own mortality is one thing but experiencing the loss of a dear friend without warning is another. There is immense heartbreak and oceans of tears. There is also celebration. Celebration of an extraordinary man that touched the lives of so many. Meet Walter. I'm going to tell you just an eyelash worth of stories of the man that helped turn my doomed future into the time of my life.
