- Self-Improvement
Today we have the most special guests on the podcast yet: Liz’s daughter Clary and her grandson, Cameron! In this episode, Cameron and Clary share their stories of moving to Memphis for treatment at St. Jude Children’s Hospital after Cameron was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in 2021. Their lives were turned upside down, but they somehow found laughter, sunshine, and love through it all. We are so inspired by Clary’s strength as a warrior mom and Cameron’s resilience as a 7-year-old cancer patient, and we know you will feel uplifted by their story, too.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
We talk about being a fierce advocate for yourself, but it goes without saying to be a fierce advocate for your babies. Clary knew something was wrong and kept going back to the doctors until someone figured out what was going on.
Keeping morale up is everything during a tough season. The Grays had a saying, “Stupid cells, go to hell!,” that was a funny, cheeky rallying cry to keep them motivated and optimistic during this scary time.
It can be hard to know what to say to someone who’s been diagnosed with cancer, but just the act of reaching out is so impactful. Let them know you’re thinking about them, send them some books to read during treatments, or send them dinner for the family so they don’t have to think about it.
