Practicing mindfulness has become not only her new way of living but it has truly saved her life.Today you will learn 6 ways Meisha is able to embrace her new path. Let go of stigmas and let go of “should's”.

I started this podcast with the intention of sharing stories of hope. Today's guest Regina Ellis is not just a story of hope, but she is a true champion for it. In 1995, after her five-year-old daughter Alexandra died of cancer, Regina founded The Children's Cancer Association with the goal of making the world a little better for the thousands of kids just like her daughter whose childhoods are stolen by a diagnosis of illness, accident, or injury. In the past 25+ years, CCA has helped hundreds of thousands of children find their Joy—one song, one friendship, one breath of ocean air at a time. Regina believes that joy fuels innovation, fosters creativity, and has the ability to truly change lives and her goal through CCA is to do all that she can to give, get and share joy.   About Regina Regina Ellis and her family founded CCA in 1995 after her five-year-old daughter Alexandra died of cancer. Along with other parents, pioneers, and dreamers she set out to create something extraordinary: an organization with a new vision for what pediatric cancer support services might look like.   Connect with Regina Website https://joyrx.org JoyRx Music https://joyrxmusic.org/listen/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/CCAJoyRx Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CCAJoyRx Twitter https://twitter.com/CCAJoyRx   Support the Show Thanks so much for listening.

Over one-hundred-and-ten-thousand South Africans are diagnosed with cancer every year. This is according to the Cancer Association of South Africa.

Denise Patmarie Reddy is a 56-year-old cancer warrior. In 2019 August, she started having flu symptoms, and it continued for almost two months. The symptoms started getting worse. She went to consult a doctor, and they prescribed her some antibiotics. There was no relief from the symptoms, and soon she noticed a lump on her Breast. She consulted the doctor, and he asked her to undergo a biopsy. She was diagnosed with Breast cancer. Once she learned about the cancer journey, she drove to Cancer Association, Indonesia. They explained to her the whole process in detail. She came back home and cried a lot. She underwent a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and six cycles of radiation therapy as a part of the treatment. She says the process after the cancer journey is the toughest as it's tough to come back to your everyday life after the diagnosis. Denise says her faith in God is the primary reason for her survival. Believe, and you can achieve it.

  Today I get to drop this wonderful conversation I had with Neil Crone. I don’t think I was prepared for how relaxed and fun it was going to be to speak with Neil. I always love when I meet someone for the first time and my first thought is, “this is going to be fun!” Neil is someone who has been through his fair share of “Schtuff” but has not let his challenges darken the lens with which he views the world. Instead, he is someone who uses his experiences as a way to reach out and connect with others to shine a light on what bonds us to together as humans and propel us forward into the very things that paralyze us. Neil does this with his writing, improv, acting and motivational speaking, but I have a feeling, after speaking with Neil, it is just how he shows up in the world.   Some of the things we cover in this episode are, What his biggest challenge as an artist has been, as someone who studied and performed in improv what is the most valuable takeaway he has brought with him into other areas of his life and what major change he would like to see happen in the entertainment industry.   A little about Neil: Neil is an actor and writer who lives in a town so small everybody knows where everyone else’s birthmarks are.  He has performed in dozens of television and radio commercials, TV shows and is the voice of numerous cartoon characters every Saturday morning, including ‘The Ridonculous Race’, ‘Ella’ and the upcoming ‘Kody Kapow!’  His most current television and feature film roles include a guest starring appearance in ‘Rogue’, ‘Murdoch Mysteries’,   ‘Remedy’, ‘The Strain’, ‘One Starry Christmas’ , and the soon to be released, ‘Bon Cop Bad Cop 2’ and Stephen Kings ‘It’. He also enjoyed six seasons playing the role of Radio Redneck Fred Tupper in CBC’s hit sit-com ‘Little Mosque on the Prairie’ and two seasons of Family Channel’s ‘Really Me’. A Second City Mainstage alumnus, Neil has been performing improvised and sketch comedy for over twenty years and is the recipient of a Canadian Comedy Award for Best Radio Comedy for his work as ‘Bad Santa’ on Q107’s Derringer in the Morning. When not performing, Neil is busy writing; as an award-winning weekly humour columnist for Metroland papers, and a contributor to numerous publications including Zoomer Magazine, Ontario Out of Doors, Dogs in Canada and ACTRA Magazine. His books; ‘Semi-Colon; A Writers cheeky journey through Colo-rectal Cancer’, “Who Farted?’ – Stories in Verse for big and little kids” and “The Farmers Secret Midnight Dance” and his first collection of syndicated columns “Enter Laughing – The Early Years” are currently available at major bookstores. Neil is a cancer survivor and is a National Spokesperson for both the Colo-rectal Cancer Association of Canada and Colon Cancer Canada.  He is available as a motivational speaker, focusing on the power of laughter in healing.  When Neil grows up he wants to be an Astronaut.    https://www.thisischelseajohnson.com/

"The person that talks and has no deeds...is like a garden full of weeds." - Unknown What's it cost to be kind?  NOT A DAMN THING!  So...if it's free why aren't more people practicing kindness?  That's the kind of question that is best left up to asking Mr. Owl (of Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop fame) but this week we do talk about the kindness habit with my good friend and fellow cowbell enthusiast, Allison Clarke, CSP. I've had the pleasure of knowing Allison for quite a while.  She smart, funny and walks the walk.   Her leadership views parallel my own (maybe that's why I like her so much).   I know you'll enjoy our conversation as much as I did.  Grab a cold one and ENJOY! More on Allison... For over half of her life, Allison Clarke CSP has been solving communication problems for companies and teaching the power of kindness. She’s helped professionals around the globe to break through barriers and get results that improve their productivity, profitability, and personal happiness. As a “Top 25 Master Trainer” for Dale Carnegie Corporation, Allison spent 16 years witnessing miraculous transformations. This gave her the foundation needed to launch Allison Clarke Consulting in 2011. Her client list includes Intel, Kroger, Adidas, Dignity Memorial, and Trident Seafoods. These diverse companies have one thing in common—they know the success of their companies depends on their people. Allison is the author of two books. Allison’s first book, “What Will They Say? 30 Funerals in 60 Days,” is a study of leadership and what it means to leave a memorable impact. In “The Kindness Habit,” she offers concrete steps to leave a legacy of kindness and grace.  Allison graduated from Whittier College with a degree in Business Administration. In 2016, Allison earned the CSP™ (Certified Speaking Professional) designation. Less than 12% of speakers worldwide meet this criteria. It's based on track record, expertise, and commitment to ongoing education, client service, and ethical behavior.  Allison was the President of the Oregon National Speakers Association and now serves at the national level. Since 2010, she’s been a volunteer and Ambassador with Children’s Cancer Association. She lives in Portland, Oregon and has two daughters.

Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has confirmed the shortage of certain life-saving drugs countrywide. Wisani Makhubele reports

As some of you tuck in to your egg, bacon and sausage breakfast this morning, just keep in mind this may soon be a thing of the past. Bacon, sausage and other processed meats are now ranked alongside cigarettes and asbestos as known carcinogens. In a new report the World Health Organization says processed meats cause cancer, and red meat likely causes cancer.
