In episode thirty three of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts sits down with Lisa Patulny, beauty writer and founder of Call Time On Melanoma. 

This is our last episode of Season 1 (Season 2 will begin on January 15), so I thought I would wrap up the year with what is objectively a really important interview in the hopes that the extra few weeks that this will spend at the top of the episode feed will afford it the time necessary for its message to truly sink in.

Lisa Patulny is the founder of Call Time On Melanoma, a not-for-profit initiative initially formed as a platform to share the story of Natalie Fornasier, who was diagnosed with stage III melanoma at age 20. This is usually where I would wax lyrical about this week’s interview subject, but nobody can tell the story of Call Time On Melanoma in the way that its founder can- so please listen.

What I do need to make note of is that in this interview we mention that Natalie, the driving force behind Call Time On Melanoma, had no active cancer in her system and, at the time of recording, that was absolutely the case. A few weeks ago melanoma was discovered in Natalie’s gut and in her bowel. She has since undergone surgery, again, during which both cancerous tumours have been removed and so begins the long road of recovery and further treatment.

There’s not a great deal more than I can say other than if you do only sit through one episode of this podcast, please let it be this one.
