  1. They Said It Was Terminal. Kiley Durham - Castricone Beat Breast Cancer, Brain Surgery, Complications, and the Odds.

    They Said It Was Terminal. Kiley Durham - Castricone Beat Breast Cancer, Brain Surgery, Complications, and the Odds.

    "We don't have control of the number of days we are on this planet. We should embrace it, love it, and live it the way we want to be remembered." — Kiley Durham - Castricone Kiley Durham is an artist and designer turned breast cancer advocate whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. At 21, Kiley moved to New York City for a fashion internship and never left — going on to work with renowned designer Kay Unger, heading the evening design department, and building a career in fashion design and jewelry consulting. In 2017, three months after the birth of her second child, a lump that doctors initially attributed to mastitis turned out to be stage three triple negative breast cancer. What followed was a years-long battle that included a bilateral mastectomy, brain surgery, a rare and often times fatal cancer complication called leptomeningeal disease, a breast cancer recurrence, and a total of six years on treatment. Today, Kiley dubbed by her physicians as “a unicorn,” is two and a half years cancer free, enjoying motherhood, and channeling her experience into advocacy work with the Breast Cancer Alliance and the YWCA. In this deeply moving episode, Kiley shares the full arc of her cancer journey, from the discovery of breast cancer, to the moment she blacked out in her New York City apartment and woke up to the news of a brain tumor diagnosis, to the devastating conversation with a doctor who had tears in his eyes as he gave her  the prognosis of LMD. Kiley also reflects on how to support others with a cancer diagnosis, and the collateral damage of cancer — surgical menopause at 37, osteoporosis, brain fog, and the emotional toll on her family — and why, despite everything, she would do it all over again. What we explore in this episode: (08:35) The breast cancer diagnosis that came three months after her daughter was born (10:03) Emergency brain surgery: waking up with 30 staples and a walnut-sized tumor (27:32) The rare diagnosis Kiley received with a three-month prognosis (35:07) The immunotherapy that changed everything and has given Kiley two and a half years cancer free (40:11) A second breast cancer diagnosis in 2021 and six years of continuous treatment (52:12) How Kiley grieves the person she was before cancer Connect with Kiley:  @kdurham_artanddesign on Instagram  Website Breast Cancer Alliance Cycle for Survival Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn

    From Sports Reporter to Survivor: Laura Behnke’s journey through grief, IVF, and rectal cancer

    "When you're going through something really hard, it's so easy to feel like that is just going to be the way it is for the rest of your life, forever and ever. Being on the other side of that — just knowing that I can get out of bed — is a gift." - Laura Behnke Laura Behnke is an advocate, speaker, journalist, and the creator of Life Actually — a community built around the life you actually have, not the one you planned. After 16 years in TV as a sports reporter, Laura left the industry carrying a secret: she had never been in a relationship. At 35, she met her now-husband, and assumed the hard part was finally over… Amid the pandemic and at 40 years old, Laura and her husband began IVF — navigating three failed rounds before their one embryo became their daughter. Seven months into motherhood, Laura went to a surgeon's office expecting to remove a hemorrhoid. Instead, she was diagnosed with Stage 3B rectal cancer. In this deeply honest conversation, Laura shares what it means to survive layered loss, how she ignored rectal bleeding for over a year while pregnant and postpartum, and why she is now one of the most important voices in colorectal cancer awareness for young women.  What we explore in this episode: (01:02) Why a "boring" day is now Laura's greatest gift  (06:58) Her first relationship at 35 and the shame she carried for years  (15:52) Layered grief: losing both fathers within months of each other  (20:34) The one and only embryo that became their daughter  (24:53) The rectal bleeding she ignored — and what it turned out to be  (31:03) The colonoscopy that changed everything  (37:41) Stage 3B rectal cancer with a seven-month-old at home  (41:44) Radiation, chemo, surgery, and her husband's unforgettable words  (49:50) What every woman needs to know about colorectal cancer right now  (54:39) Why colonoscopies are life-saving and what to do before your next bathroom visit  (58:11) How a cancer diagnosis redefined success, work, and being present  Connect with Laura: @LauraBBehnke on IG Life Actually Substack The Life Actually podcast Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn

    The Courage to Opt Out: Dr. Flora Sinha on Burnout, Boundaries, and Brave Pivots

    "Do not be afraid to invest in yourself, whether that is investing time or money, because you have an idea, or because you want to grow." - Dr. Flora Sinha Dr. Flora Sinha is an LA-based board-certified internal medicine physician, and mindset coach. She is known for integrating her clinical expertise with motivational speaking and coaching, as well as her advocacy for infertility awareness. As a first-generation American raised in a traditional Southeast Asian household, Flora navigated the cultural pressures of checking every box: getting good grades, becoming successful, getting married, having kids, and living happily ever after… only to discover that life doesn't work that way and it was a recipe for burnout. In this deeply personal conversation, Flora opens up about her journey through secondary infertility, the shame and self-blame that came with it, and how mindset coaching transformed not just her approach to fertility treatments but her entire life philosophy. After multiple IVF rounds, transfers, and pregnancy losses, Flora and her husband made the difficult decision to remain a family of three, not out of defeat, but from a place of clarity and peace. Flora shares how approaching this heartbreaking decision logically rather than emotionally gave her the freedom to move forward, and how it inspired her to support other women navigating burnout and perfectionism. This episode will remind you why investing in yourself is the most important work you'll ever do. What we explore in this episode: (03:20) Growing up as a first-generation American with immigrant parents (07:32) The shame of secondary infertility: When your body doesn't follow the rules (10:03) When the doctor becomes the patient (47:26) Envying the emotional intelligence we're giving our kids (49:25) Taking a logistical approach to an emotional decision (51:03) Leading with compassion and investing in yourself Connect with Flora: @DrFloraSinha on IG Website The Beyond Podcast Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn
