It is still Bowel Cancer Awareness Month and I wanted to take this opportunity to step behind the mic for a raw, solo check-in 12 months after my diagnosis and surgery.
I’m not going to lie, I get really emotional in this one. It is wild how fast a year goes by, but looking back, cancer completely shattered and rebuilt the way I look at life. I am opening up about things I usually keep close to my chest, like navigating a low bank account while running a business, learning to love a body I spent my whole life hating, and why facing your own mortality makes everyday stresses just melt away.
I also give an honest update on my latest PET scan, some unexpected scan-xiety, and why I am officially banning the word anti-aging from my vocabulary.
Life is an absolute privilege. So let me ask you: Are you actually living yours?
