There are over 130 different types of brain tumours. Tumours can start in any part of the brain or spinal cord. They are usually named after the type of cell they develop from. Of the nearly 80,000 brain tumours diagnosed in the U.S. each year, approximately 32% are considered malignant

Only 20% of people with a high grade Astrocytoma survive for 5 years or more.

In 2015, my colleague Chris was one of them. Join me today as Chris tells us his fascinating story after being diagnosed with a brain tumour and his journey with cancer treatment for nearly 2 years. Great sense of humour, amazing human, smart, insightful, slightly quirky, but most of all massively inspirational. Chris's respect towards his ability to live life is something we should all learn from. Thank you, Chris, for your amazing story telling, your refreshing take on life, and your epic analogies. 

Absolutely in love with this conversation, hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Remember to subscribe and share! <3

March 6 is World Lymphedema Day and to celebrate the writer and creator of Loving life with Lymphedema blog, Allie Callahan, joins me this week. Wife, stay at home Mama, domestic extraordinaire, dog Mom, Melanoma survivor and secondary lymphedema patient due to her multiple episodes with cancer, including a current one. Regardless of life’s challenges, Allie is the definition of a fighter and faces it all with her amazing sense of humour and a beautiful smile. She also has the most positive mindset I’ve ever seen. Today, she tells us her journey with Melanoma that caused her the secondary lymphedema in her right leg, or better known as, Bertha. Hope you enjoy this very inspiring story, and thank you, Allie, for your honesty!

It is the season premier! And what better way to introduce the first episode of 2021 than recapping the last year (aka the pandemic year) and how it has affected all of us. I invited my lovely friend and is also a Mindset Coach and Healer, Rachel Hamlin, to give us some insight on the consistent themes she has observed, such as the blurred boundary lines. 

If you are interested on a session with Rachel, you can get in touch with her on Instagram: @rhamlin

Enjoy!

It is the Season Finale! So I thought it was only appropriate to take my turn in the hot seat and tell everyone my story. This is not a story about Lymphedema, but how Lymphedema has shaped by life and allowed me to discover a life beyond the norm.

Bianca, besides being my cousin (I swear this is not a biased opinion), is a fighter, a go getter and wonderfully resilient, and she joins me today to speak and educate us about her journey with Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). POI is one of the causes of what is known as Early Menopause (EM), which is said to have a prevalence of only 3% worldwide, but increases with age from 35 and older. Interestingly enough, it is said that around 12% of the population might experience EM.

Tune in as we discuss the taboo subject of Infertility, in a very brave, deep and emotional conversation in light of making this subject a little bit more normal. 

Thank you, Bianca, for your honesty and courage. I love you.

My fave joins me again, but this time to tell us his story and to speak about his truth: Homosexuality. Don't have much more to say but - you have to listen to one of the most amazing conversations I've ever had. Enjoy!

Naiara Falto - Supermujer, psicóloga y paciente de diabetes tipo 1 desde los 4 años. 

!Bienvenida Naiara! Hoy ella es la experta y nos educa sobre la diabetes y relata sus experiencias de vida con esta enfermedad que afecta a 1 de 11 personas de la población mundial. 

Tenemos una conversación espectacular y en la que compartimos anécdotas de crecer con una discapacidad - los momentos difíciles, el proceso de aceptación, y los sustos por tratar de ser rebeldes - que nos ha enseñado que se puede vivir una vida saludable, con sus ajustes ;) 

Gracias Naiara por tu honestidad y por contar tu historia, estoy segura que como me has inspirado a mí, tendrás un impacto en muchos más.

¡Espero que lo disfruten!
