Here’s another BONUS episode of the Precarious podcast. I’m tossing these out there as I feel moved to share with you an “audio journal” version of my experiences living and dying. I guess you could say I’m letting you in to my inner workings as I travel down this path.

These audio journals are not meant to replace the original Precarious podcast format. I do plan to interview guests as long as I am feelng well enough and can recruit guests to interview.

In this episode, I share my reactions to a Mary Oliver Essay titled “the Bird”. This is a magical story at every level: the original story she wrote, my story, the serendipity of the intersection of these stories. Boundless beauty wrapped in hope.

In this episode of BONUS EPISODE of Precarious, I share my experiences about how my not knowing how much time I have left to live has beautfully transformed my relationship with time for the better.

I have a different relationship with time. Cancer has made that clear to me. Have you thought about your relationship with time? How do you view time? Do you chase it? Lose it? Wish you had more of it? Wish you were better at mastering it? Listen to the language we use around the concept of time and you realize that we have made time a commodity. There are entire industries based on helping you learn skills to better use your time. Only humans would take time and make it a business venture. We have sadly veered off course.

I met Jeff Eagan a couple of years ago. He is a physical therapist specializing in oncology. What does that mean? Research demonstrates that moving your body and exercising through cancer treatment decreases fatigue, increases mood and improves quality of life. Over the years, Jeff and his colleagues have built an incredible program which has blossemed into a community of people living with cancer “working out” together. What he didn’t ancticipate is the healing goes above and beyond rehabing the body. This community of people living with cancer is really Rehab for the Soul. Listen to us swap stories of love, connection, and mutual support that falls into it’s own category of “magic”.

I’ve been living with cancer (ovarian and breast and now ovarian) for nine years. I’ve been grateful to have periods of life with out active disease. Now – I’m approaching the end of my life. If someone told me that I would live nine years beyond the day I was first diagnosed, I would not have believed them. It’s hard to capture all that I have learned about myself, others and what it means to be human through facing my death by living my life. But, in this episode, I try my best to share this “wisdom” with you. There is nothing special about me. I happened to be diagnosed with a terminal illness, like so many and others who have experienced trauma and tragedy. It’s my hope that you gain some of these insights without having the terminal diagnosis. I believe it’s possible. Give it a try.

I’ve stopped treatment for my cancer. And, honestly, didn’t plan on recording another podcast mostly because I did’t think I’d still be alive. In this episode of the Precarious podcast, I took advantage of my “aliveness” and sat down with my dear friend, Michelle Faris. She has shown up for me in ways that bring tears to my eyes: such acts of beauty. I wanted to capture an organic conversation and share this with you. Over this past month, we have explored all sorts of topics revolving around my illness and imminent death. Don’t be frightened to listen. This conversation is filled with hope, love and peace. I’d go as far to say it’s an optimistic take on how we face our final act as humans.
