I am so incredible proud of these beautiful people who were courage’s enough to talk about their (childhood/AYA)cancer, post cancer and grief journey.
It’s been an absolute honor to talk, learn and resonate with a lot of the stories of the people who I talked to on the first year of the original podcast: The Fabulous Cancer Podcast.
I decided to name it ‘The Fabulous Cancer Podcast ‘ because I didn’t want to make it too ‘dramatic’, sad, pitiful or dark. My goals was to share as many stories, with as many people as possible, and to heal and understand my own journey in life itself, with being a childhood cancer survivor.
Many topics weren’t talked about when I was navigating through my journey, many non-experienced ‘medical profesionals’ didn’t understand me, but with the original podcast set up, I created a space for myself and others where I was understood, where a certain level of suffering, pain and grief resonated, as I talked to the incredible people who will always continue to inspire me.
I want to give a special thank you to everyone who I started the podcast with, I am so incredibly proud of all the stories that have been shared, and I am inspired to level up the podcast to another level, so thank you.
