Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Series - 2

Leah Adams is an avid runner, loves to travel and is a melanoma survivor! Ever since she was touched by cancer, she turned her life around for the better. Her experience led her to become a skin cancer and mental health advocate. She is also is the daughter of a Stage IV metastatic melanoma patient. 

Her love for tanning started at a young age. Growing up in Ohio, she felt the pressure to maintain a tan all year round, leading her to use tanning beds frequently. However, she never thought about the risk of skin cancer. That all changed when she received devastating news at just 26 years old…

Her story is one of hope and strength.

Today she will share with you her journey from diagnosis to advocate and from patient to caregiver.

Leah hopes to continue to educate others and share her story to prevent others from going through what she did. She encourages everyone to prioritize sun safety and protect their skin from harmful UV rays. 

Supporting  those who have been affected by skin cancer, whether they are the patient or the caregiver, is vitally important. Let’s bring more education and awareness to preventing and treating skin cancer to make our world a safer and healthier place.

Are you exhausted from striving to be perfect?  When you push to be perfect, you may put yourself under more stress by trying to control things and over time this can potentially lead to chronic illness. 

Today we are exploring the impact of perfectionism. In this episode, you will get practical strategies to release stress and anxiety and find acceptance of yourself.

My guest, Vicki Smith is a licensed psychotherapist and coach that specializes in people pleasing and perfectionism. 

Perfectionism can be a hard habit to break with the way we see everything in the world. We judge ourselves based on what we see around us when you need to be focused on who you are.  Embracing our shared human experience can help reduce our shame, because it reminds you that your setbacks are not unique and that you are not alone in your pain.

Today Vicki brings her personal and professional experience and shares her  thoughts on  perfectionism and self-compassion.  Through mindfulness she helps you discover your true nature and to share it with the world. To live the life you’ve always wanted!

You wake up. You get ready for work. You do your normal thing. Then, out of the blue, you get that dreaded phone call. The one that changes your life forever. It forces you to step back and figure out your new game plan.

Meridith Alexander got that terrifying call. She shares her daughter Schuylers tragic accident being crushed by a boulder. Reality hit her when she asked herself what the worst of her horrible emotions was. She realized that it was feeling powerless to help her daughter, so she decided to start playing the inner game like she had never played it before.

She shares her really powerful tools that you will be able to start using today to discover your own epic story and uncover your inner narratives for a thriving life. 

Living an epic life involves being in control of how we experience our lives, rather than the opposite.

When you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, sex is often the last thing on your mind. There are many different factors that may affect your sex life. Some of these factors include the type of cancer you have, what type of treatment you are receiving, how long you are going through treatment, and whether or not you have any side effects. You could be feeling so fatigued that you can’t even think about sex. 

In this candid episode with my guest Juni Bucher, we're discussing this taboo subject and learn how to rediscover your sexual self as a cancer survivor.

Juni is a breast cancer survivor. Her first hand experience handling her new normal caused her to see things differently. Eventually it led her to completely change her life and career after her diagnosis. She is now a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and certified meditation teacher, with a focus on the holistic side of healing. Juni also is the host of her own podcast: TATA, Cancer!

Compassion is an attitude of empathy, caring, and understanding for ourselves and for others. It means recognizing when we’re struggling, offering kindness to ourselves and acknowledging those same struggles in other people. Compassion can transform the way we think about the world, giving us hope that even small actions can have a positive impact on our lives and the lives of others. 

While difficulties come along with life, reminding yourself of how strong you have been in the past and that you have the capacity to make it through.  Embrace the hardships you encounter, for overcoming these will bring about new strength and more compassion.

Mindfully connect and honor your ability to care with this compassion meditation…my gift to you!

Navigating cancer can be difficult not only at the time of diagnosis, but also while processing the trauma.  The grief and sadness can feel overwhelming. The isolation can keep you stuck. The emotions can get packed away.

My guest, David Richman, author, athlete and philanthropist, found himself in a life transformation at the same time his sister was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.  While she was in the last few weeks of her battle, he made a promise to her and decided to learn more by becoming more involved at a deeper level. The lack of emotion he witnessed in the world of cancer puzzled him. This led him to start a project. One that would change the lives of so many.

From this incredible adventure, he wrote his book “Cycle of Lives: 15 People’s Stories, 5,000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of Cancer”
