    20. Life In Hospice

    Episode 20: Life in Hospice Hospice is often misunderstood, but for me it’s been a source of comfort and dignity. In this episode, I share what daily life looks like as my body slows, from fighting symptoms to finding small joys. I talk about the gift of final motorcycle rides with my children and friends, the unconditional love that surrounds me, and reflections on purpose, forgiveness, and life. Hospice has given me the space to focus on presence, gratitude, and the simple truth that our greatest gift in life is the love we give to others.

    18. The Big Drop

    Episode 18: The Big Drop A summer break turned into another fight for survival. One day after recording my last episode, I was back in the ER with a complete bowel obstruction that led to a third major surgery in less than 18 months. The prognosis that followed was blunt: only a few months left. In this episode, I share the shock of hearing those words, the heartbreak of watching old family videos with my kids, and the fragile gratitude that returned the next morning. The end is near, but not here yet, and today is still mine.

    16. Back to Life - Offer Accepted

    Episode 16: Back to Life, Offer Accepted After a year of battling pancreatic cancer, I wasn’t expecting to re-enter full-time work, let alone feel energized by it.

In this episode, I share what drew me back in: a sense of purpose, inspiring people, and a belief that life after cancer can still be bold. From interviews to an offsite in Cancun, from fatigue to finding my rhythm again - this is the story of saying yes to life, work, and what's next.

    14. Ray of Hope

    Episode 14: Ray of Hope – After stopping chemo early, my cancer marker spiked to ten times the normal range. With no treatment options left, I started preparing for the end. Then I learned about Next Generation Sequencing, a test that can uncover rare tumor mutations and, in some cases, open the door to targeted treatments. It only helps a small percentage of patients, but it gave me a reason to hope, and it might do the same for you.
