    Unsolicited Cancer Advice: How to Sort What Helps

    Advice starts arriving the moment you are diagnosed with cancer, and it rarely stops. In the final episode of Season 2, Bron goes solo to talk about the advice nobody asks for, from the email linking to a cure made from ground apricot kernels, to the text blaming her lifestyle choices, to the coach who told her that her second diagnosis came because she had not done enough of the work after the first. Bron builds the episode around a single image. Someone standing at your front door with their eye to the keyhole sees a sliver of hallway, and none of the kitchen bench covered in medications and appointment letters, the three o'clock wakefulness, the energy calculations before every commitment, or the grief that sits quietly in a room of its own. She names the five familiar shapes unsolicited advice takes, cure, attitude, comparison, minimising and timeline advice, and explains why the timeline kind lands hardest for people living with a cancer that does not end. Nine years into treatment across two diagnoses, now on maintenance for multiple myeloma, she shares her specialist's description of it as a marathon without a finish line, and why she thanks science every day for the gift of time. Bron also turns the keyhole on herself. Drawing on a moment from her early years as a nurse, when she was so firmly in the disease lane that she missed the grief of a patient's wife, she reflects on why this conversation is not about good people and bad people, but about where you are standing. Every one of us has looked through someone else's keyhole and felt far more certain than we had any right to be. In this episode, Bron explores •      The five shapes unsolicited advice usually takes, and why so much of it arrives wrapped in love •      Why timeline advice lands hardest when you are living with a cancer that has no finish line •      Why the people closest to us are sometimes looking through the keyhole too •      What Bron learned as a nurse about carers living through cancer as much as the patient •      Where cancer treatment misinformation really comes from, according to recent research •      Name the keyhole, and the simple question Bron comes back to: is it real? •      Sort it, don't swallow it, using three doors: keep, check with your senior leadership team, and return to sender with love •      Hand them a key, and how to redirect someone's love to where it can actually land   As always, Bron does the research to what it tells us about unsolicited advice, positivity and personal choice. If you have ever felt your whole experience quietly written out of the story, this one is for you, and for the people who love you.

    Given No Choices, She Made Her Own with Emma Victoria Johnson

    Emma Victoria Johnson was 43, fit, healthy and diligent with her annual mammograms when she was told she had stage four breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes and liver.   Seventeen years earlier she had lost her mum to lung cancer within six months of diagnosis, so she knew exactly how fast this disease can move.  Within weeks, her relationship of seven years ended, the luxury beauty business she had spent more than a decade building in Newcastle closed, and friends fell away.   In Australia, Emma says she was offered no surgery, chemotherapy or radiation because her cancer was too advanced, only two palliative tablets and a timeline. So she made her own choice and got on a plane to Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico, for integrative treatment that combines immune based therapies with conventional medicine, including the hormone blocker she still takes today.  In this conversation, Bron and Emma, who have both lived through breast cancer, talk about the split second decision that said I am not ready to die, what it takes to trust your own voice when the people who love you think you are crazy, and the head noise that arrives before every scan.   Emma shares why she goes to every scan alone, how Guns N' Roses and meditation pull her back, and how documenting her treatment on Instagram grew into a community of more than 50,000 people who carry her through the hard days.   Her latest scans show her breast and lymph nodes clear, with one stubborn area in her liver still being treated.  When Bron asks what serenity means to her, Emma describes surrendering to, and becoming, your inner warrior: going through the darkest place and rising into the best version of yourself.   As the youngest of three sisters she was always the softest, the princess, and she never knew she had strength in her until cancer asked for it. "I have found my inner warrior and I activate my warrior mode," she says.   Now, whenever a new treatment or a needle frightens her, she goes inside herself and finds her.   Serenity Rising is an interest only podcast. Emma shares her personal experience of integrative treatment at Oasis of Hope, where she is now a patient ambassador, and nothing in this episode is medical advice. Please talk with your own medical team about any treatment decisions.  In This Episode  Losing her mum to lung cancer at 26, and receiving her own stage four diagnosis 17 years later  A weekend behind locked doors, and the moment she decided: I am not willing to die  A tsunami upon a tsunami: losing her partner, her business and her friends within weeks, and asking who am I now  Why the internet rabbit hole of cancer advice became too much, and how she learned to listen to herself instead  Being offered no surgery, chemotherapy or radiation in Australia, only palliative tablets, and choosing a plane ticket instead  Walking through the doors at Oasis of Hope and feeling safe, seen, heard and, for the first time, hopeful  What integrative treatment looked like for her: a 16 day first stay, hyperthermia, immune therapies, and the hormone blocker she still takes  Head noise before every PET scan, and why Emma chooses to go alone  Guns N' Roses or meditation: how Emma breaks the spiral, and the look up tip Bron learned from a clinical psychologist friend  How sharing her journey on Instagram built a community of more than 50,000 people, and why she answers every message herself  Why she is happier now than she was before cancer, and her one piece of advice: do not give up hope  What serenity means to Emma: surrendering to and becoming your inner warrior, rising through the darkest times into the best version of yourself, and the warrior mode she switches on whenever a treatment or a needle frightens her.  Resources Mentioned  Oasis of Hope Hospital, Tijuana, Mexico: oasisofhope.com  How to Starve Cancer by Jane McLelland, the first book Emma read after diagnosis  The Serenity Prayer  Be Where Your Feet Are, Bron Watson (coming early 2027)  Related Episodes  Two Cancers Later, She Found a Better Word Than Resilient with Cheyenne Heflin (S2 E16) https://push.fm/fl/jugdagss  I Had Cancer.

    The Voice That Said Get Up: Surviving Cancer, Loss and the Worst Days of Your Life with Gaylynn Kapri and LaVonne Chastain

    Gaylynn Kapri has been told to say goodbye more times than most people can imagine. This episode of Serenity Rising sits down with Gaylynn and her cousin LaVonne M. Chastain, the two women behind the memoir Get Up, to talk about the question that gives the book and this conversation its title. What does getting up actually look like when you cannot see a single reason to stand? Gaylynn's story does not begin with cancer. She survived childhood abuse and domestic violence, and was in the middle of rebuilding her life when her daughter died in a boating accident. Six months later, in the midst of searching for her daughter, Gaylynn was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. She was sent home from hospital on palliative care, down to a fraction of her body weight, and was told there was very little time left. What happened next is where the conversation turns. Gaylynn describes a moment of hearing a voice she believed was God telling her to get up, and the long, unglamorous months of learning to walk again that followed. LaVonne, who had been beside her cousin through every part of it, from childhood to the hospital corridor, talks candidly about what it costs to witness someone you love fight for their life, and how writing Gaylynn's story down changed her own faith along the way. Bron talks with both women about what get up means once the adrenaline of a crisis has worn off. Gaylynn and LaVonne describe it as a decision made again and again, not a single leap, closer to a moment-by-moment practice than a grand gesture. The conversation also moves into the parts of this story that rarely make it into a highlight reel, including shame, pride, and what it is like to need someone to carry you to the bathroom when independence has always been part of your identity. In this episode, Bron explores:  How Gaylynn heard the call to get up after being sent home on palliative care  What it took for LaVonne to witness her cousin's diagnosis and recovery as a carer  Why writing the memoir Get Up became its own form of processing grief  The difference between fighting a diagnosis and surrendering to what cannot be controlled  How shame shows up for people who have lived through trauma and illness, and why naming it matters  What a get up moment looks like on an ordinary day, not only in crisis  Why faith and family carried both women when medicine alone could not answer every question There is no clinical framework standing in for lived experience in this one. Gaylynn and LaVonne speak from faith, from family and from years of sitting beside each other through loss that most people will never have to imagine.   Bron connects their idea of getting up moment by moment to the show's own belief that healing rarely arrives as one finished decision; it is something you keep choosing, one moment at a time.  If you are in the middle of your own get up moment, or you are the person standing beside someone who is, this conversation is for you.   Find Gaylynn and LaVonne, their book Get Up, and ways to connect with them directly through valleygracepub.com, linked below.  Make every day count my friends.   Links Email: valleygracepub@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/valleygracepub/  Website: https://www.valleygracepub.com/  Substack: https://lavonnechastain.substack.com/?    Connect With The Serenity Project  Website: https://serenityproject.com.au  Instagram: https://instagram.com/bron_watson  Facebook: https://facebook.com/bronwatsonme  LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/bronwatson   YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@BronWatson  Have a question or feedback?

    Educate, Educate, Educate: Michael Bovarnick's Twenty-Three Year Prostate Cancer Story with Michael Bovarnick

    This episode of Serenity Rising turns on a question most men are never given room to ask, what happens when a cancer you thought was behind you comes back twenty years later. Bron sits down with Michael Bovarnick, founder of the Prostate Education Project, who was first diagnosed with prostate cancer more than two decades ago, lived cancer free for almost twenty years, and then, at eighty-three, found himself facing a stage four recurrence and a whole new set of decisions.  Michael takes us back to the beginning, to watch his own father die of prostate cancer and the primary care physician who caught his numbers early enough to act. He talks through the radical prostatectomy that removed his cancer with millimetres to spare, and the two decades of undetectable PSA readings that followed, right up until the day the numbers started climbing again.  Some of the most valuable parts in this conversation has nothing to do with medicine at all. Michael and his wife are approaching sixty-two years of marriage, and he speaks plainly about what keeps a relationship intact through treatment that changes a man physically and emotionally, mostly the importance of naming feelings honestly rather than expecting a partner to read them.  In this episode, Bron explores:  Why Michael built the Prostate Education Project after realising nobody had told him what questions to ask  What androgen deprivation therapy actually does to the body and why the side effects catch so many men off guard  The gap between what clinicians have time to explain and what patients actually need to know  Why men are statistically far less likely than women to talk openly about their cancer  What sixty two years of marriage has taught Michael and his wife about communicating through fear  How an ADT holiday works and why coming off treatment can be harder than staying on it  Why Michael no longer believes healing means going back to who you were before illness  Michael's project draws less on clinical research than on twenty three years of lived experience translated into plain language, a distinction he returns to throughout the conversation. His observation that many people now turn to AI or a search engine for answers that are not always accurate is exactly the gap The Serenity Project was built to fill, the third space where science and soul, evidence and experience, sit side by side rather than in competition.  If you are a man living with prostate cancer, a partner supporting one, or simply someone who has never heard this side of a cancer story told so honestly, this episode is for you. Michael's message, that education changes what a diagnosis is allowed to take from you, sits at the heart of everything The Serenity Project stands for.  Make every day count my friends.    LINKS  Website: http://www.theprostateeducationproject.org/  Email: Mikeb@theprostateeducationproject.org  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Prostateeducation  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100081487818057    Connect With The Serenity Project  Website: https://serenityproject.com.au  Instagram: https://instagram.com/bron_watson  Facebook: https://facebook.com/bronwatsonme  LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/bronwatson   YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@BronWatson  Have a question or feedback?

    Two Cancers Later, She Found a Better Word Than Resilient with Cheyenne Heflin

    Cheyenne Heflin was thirteen years old, at her first ever sleepaway camp, when a soccer game left her with a knee injury that would not heal.   Weeks later an x ray showed what her orthopaedist called an aggressive tumour, osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that would take her leg above the knee and put her through months of chemotherapy, including a drug nicknamed the Red Devil.  She survived. But healing, she tells Bron, was not the neat return to normal everyone expected. She spent her teenage years in denial, masking that everything was fine, terrified to ask for help, until therapy and her father taught her a different way to speak the truth of how she was feeling.  Then, thirteen years after her original diagnosis, and years into building a career around helping other paediatric cancer patients, the cancer came back, this time in her lung. Cheyenne and Bron talk about what changed the second time around: the word she has swapped in for resilient, the deliberate choice to keep living her whole life alongside treatment, and the box of funny hats her friends and grandmother sent her when she lost her hair again.  This is a conversation about identity, about masking, about learning to ask for help, and about what it means to add the word and to your story rather than letting illness be the whole of it.  In This Episode  The soccer game at her first sleepaway camp where a knee injury would not go away  The x ray on the light box, and the words "this is an aggressive tumor" that she still remembers word for word  Doxorubicin, nicknamed the Red Devil, and the toxic chemo regimen that came with an above knee amputation at thirteen  Starting a Catholic high school freshly amputated and still bald, and the social skills nobody teaches you after trauma  Masking as fine for years, and the moment her father pushed her to learn how to actually ask for help  Why she has retired the word resilient, and the word she uses instead to describe how she lives now  The recurrence at twenty-seven: a cough mistaken for asthma that turned out to be osteosarcoma in her lung  Losing her entire right lung, and hitting her lifetime dose of the chemo that once nearly broke her  The box of funny hats her friends and grandmother sent her before her second round of chemo  Adding the word and: I am a cancer survivor, and I am so much more than that  Her advice for parents and young people living through a diagnosis right now  What serenity means to Cheyenne, and why she has stopped waiting for the next bad thing to happen  Make every day count my friends.    Connect With Cheyenne  Website: https://cheyenneheflin.com  Instagram: https://instagram.com/resilient_aka    Connect With The Serenity Project  Website: https://serenityproject.com.au Instagram: https://instagram.com/bron_watson Facebook: https://facebook.com/bronwatsonme LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/bronwatson  YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@BronWatson Have a question or feedback?

    The Conversation No Parent Wants to Have

    How do you tell your kids you have cancer, and how do you keep telling them the truth as they grow, without asking them to carry that truth for you?  In this solo episode, Bron speaks directly to parents navigating cancer with kids in the home. Drawing on her own experience raising five boys through two very different diagnoses, one curable, one not, alongside Cancer Council guidance and current research on family emotional health, Bron shares the practical and emotional tools that changed how she shows up for her children, and for herself.  SHOW NOTES  In this solo episode of Serenity Rising, Bron turns to one of the most tender and least talked about parts of a cancer diagnosis: how to actually tell your kids, and how to keep telling them the truth as it changes.  As a mother of five boys and wife of 29 years to Paul, Bron has faced two very different cancer journeys, a curable breast cancer diagnosis in 2017 and an incurable, chronic diagnosis of multiple myeloma in 2023. The first time, she could offer her boys an end point. The second time, there was not one. Bron shares what changed in how she spoke to her children once the conversation stopped being a single moment and became an ongoing relationship with the truth.  Drawing on Cancer Council Australia's age by age guidance, Bron walks through how children, from toddlers through to teenagers, process a parent's diagnosis differently, and what that means for the words we choose and the routines we protect.  This episode also introduces the image that has reshaped how Bron parents through illness, the lighthouse. Bron shares how paediatrician Dr Kenneth Ginsburg's concept of lighthouse parenting gave her language for something she was already living, and how she has built her own meaning into it, that the lighthouse only shines if the parent tending it is steady first.  Bron reflects honestly on the pattern she now recognises from her first diagnosis, running after her children before caring for herself, and the turning point that taught her self care is not indulgence. Borrowing addiction therapist Mandy Saligari's phrase, it is healthy selfish.  Finally, this episode explores how to stay true to your own feelings in front of your children without asking them to carry those feelings for you, drawing on the Drama Triangle, first described by psychiatrist Stephen Karpman, and psychiatrist Murray Bowen's concept of differentiation of self.  In this episode, Bron explores:  How children understand a cancer diagnosis differently at each age and stage  Whether a curable or incurable diagnosis changes what you tell your kids, and why the honest answer is more nuanced than yes or no  The lighthouse image, and the difference between Dr Kenneth Ginsburg's version and Bron's own  Why self care during illness is not selfish, it is the foundation the whole family stands on  The Drama Triangle, and how oversharing or under sharing feelings can pull children into roles that are not theirs to carry  How to be honest with your children about your feelings without handing those feelings to them  Practical, same day tools for talking to kids about cancer at every age  This is not an episode about getting it perfect. It's an episode about becoming steady enough that your children always know where to find you.  Your healing matters every day.   Connect With The Serenity Project  Website: https://serenityproject.com.au Instagram: https://instagram.com/bron_watson Facebook: https://facebook.com/bronwatsonme LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/bronwatson  YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@BronWatson Have a question or feedback?

    You Are Worth It: Four Words That Changed Everything with Bryan Blackmon

    Bryan Blackmon has a tattoo on the back of his neck that he got in Maui the day he learned his aunt had been diagnosed with breast cancer, a permanent reminder that she was not walking through it alone. It is one of the most quietly powerful things anyone has brought to Serenity Rising. But as Bron says at the top of this episode, it is not the whole story. Bryan is the founder of Crab Crew Life, a high accountability transformational platform he built after rebuilding his own life from nothing: addiction, homelessness, and years of severe adversity. He started drinking and using in ninth grade, moved to California chasing a dream, and ended up living in his car and in tents across Los Angeles, stuck in fight-or-flight mode for years. Nine hundred and thirty-six days ago, brushing his teeth one morning, the chaos in his head went completely silent, and four words broke through: you are worth it. In this conversation, Bryan and Bron talk about what it means to protect your peace like currency, why gratitude has to happen before your feet hit the floor, and Elaine, the elderly landlord who took a chance on a homeless stranger and changed the course of his life. Bryan also unpacks the framework behind Crab Crew Life, built letter by letter around clean, resilient, adaptable, and belief, and why he believes dismantling survival mode starts with focusing on the next play, not the whole season. For anyone living through cancer, whether it is their own diagnosis or a loved one's, or through any other kind of adversity, this is a reminder that healing is a process, not a cure, and that the small daily disciplines are what make the big things possible. In This Episode The tattoo Bryan got in Maui the morning he learned his aunt had breast cancer Starting to drink and use in ninth grade, inside a loving family that couldn't stop it Life on the streets of Los Angeles: tents, his car, and years stuck in fight or flight The morning at 936 days sober when four words broke through the silence: you are worth it The fork in the road he saw before getting sober: an overdose or a long prison sentence Meeting Elaine, the landlord who saw past the smell of whiskey and let him in anyway The predawn phone call, and the words welcome home on her front porch Why Bryan now treats peace like currency, and refuses to let anyone else spend it The gratitude ritual that starts before his feet hit the floor, and the journal that ends his night How a TikTok joke about a virtual crab gift became Crab Crew Life, a global accountability movement The oxygen mask principle: why you put it on yourself first, every time What serenity means to Bryan, and why peace took him decades to understand Your healing matters every day.

    You Are Not Your Diagnosis: Dr. Ellyn Hilliard-McLeod on Attitudinal Healing, Forgiveness and Wholeness

    What if cancer is not the enemy, but the teacher? What if the body is already whole, already complete, and it is the obstacles we place in our own path - the unforgiveness, the grief, the toxic patterns, the habits born of lovelessness that create the conditions for illness? Dr. Ellyn Hilliard-McLeod holds a PhD in holistic nutrition and has spent decades working within dividuals facing life-threatening illness through her practice, Sedona Solutions. Her entry into this work was deeply personal, she watched her father navigate prostate cancer through the Western medical system alone, and saw what holistic support could have done for him. Her the work she wished had existed for her family. In this conversation with Bron, Ellyn shares the three principles that anchor everything she does - cancer is a teacher, you are not your diagnosis, and we can remove the blocks to your wholeness and walks us through the Attitudinal Healing framework that forms the heart of her free community support groups. She also shares a story that will stay with you: a woman whose recurring cancer stopped returning after she reconciled with her estranged son. Her new book, It Takes More Than Carrot Juice: The Missing Ingredients to Total Healing, is available now. In This Episode: How Ellyn came to this work - watching her father navigate prostate cancer through the Western system alone, and seeing what holistic nutrition and emotional healing did for her mother and sister The accidental beginning: walking into a cancer support group of 90 people at a hospital and doing a free 12-week program when no one else showed up Cancer is a teacher: the loud knock at the door, preceded by small whispers we often don't hear until we have to You are already whole - the obstacles we place in our own path (unforgiveness, toxic relationships, physical habits) are what block our natural healing state The 12 Principles of Attitudinal Healing, developed by Dr. Jerry Jampolsky and the first three that matter most: the essence of our being is love, health is inner peace, and giving and receiving are the same The six-step process for letting go of fear and returning to peace What Ellyn's support groups actually look like, including the opening question everynew member is asked: 'What is one thing you love about yourself?' The story of the woman whose recurring intestinal cancer stopped returning after Easter and what forgiveness can do that surgery cannot always achieve The seven characteristics of cancer patients most likely to develop the disease and why caregivers are at the top of the list '89% of everything people worry about never happens' and why the only real controlis in the present moment The living plan: not an end-of-life plan, but a list of everything you want to do while you are alive The support groups - held at United Methodist Church in Sedona, two Sundays per month at 5pm Pacific, open via Zoom to anyone around the world Her new book: It Takes More Than Carrot Juice, 20 patient stories of waking up emotionally and spiritually through cancer, half of whom did not survive physically but all of whom were transformed   Connect With Dr. Ellyn Website & Book: https://sedonasolution.com Book on Amazon: It Takes More Than Carrot Juice: The Missing Ingredients to Total Healing - search on Amazon or Ingram Sparks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellynh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellynhilliard/    Connect With The Serenity Project  Website: https://serenityproject.com.au Instagram: https://instagram.com/bron_watson Facebook: https://facebook.com/bronwatsonme LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/bronwatson  YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@BronWatson Have a question or feedback?
