Send us a textThis episode wrecked me in the very best way.On September 11th, 2001, while most of the world was glued to their TVs watching unimaginable horror unfold, Diane Davis was teaching Grade 3 French immersion in Gander, Newfoundland, an airport town of about 10,000 people that would suddenly become home to nearly 7,000 stranded airline passengers.What happened next is the part of the 9/11 story you probably don't know.Diane walks me through those surreal days when 38 planes were diverted to Gander and an entire community quietly, efficiently, and compassionately mobilized. Teachers turned schools into shelters. Bus drivers walked off strike to shuttle passengers. Churches, camps, and tiny outport towns filled trucks with food, bedding, and toothbrushes. Bulletin boards replaced the internet. Tim Hortons boxes became filing systems. No one waited to be told what to do. People just did what they could.Diane's story became part of Come From Away, the Broadway musical inspired by Gander's response to 9/11. Yes, there is literally a character based on her. But what struck me most wasn't the red carpets or the Tony Awards. It was her belief that none of this was extraordinary. It was simply people showing up with whatever skills they had.We also talk about the other side of being a lifelong helper, learning how to receive. Diane shares candidly about her current cancer treatment, the discomfort of accepting support, and how community once again is carrying her through. This conversation is about kindness, grit, humility, and the quiet magic that happens when strangers choose to care for each other.You might cry. I definitely did. And you'll walk away remembering what humans are capable of when we're at our best.What's Inside:What really happened in Gander when thousands of planes were diverted on 9/11How ordinary people self-organized to care for thousands of strangersThe real-life story behind Come From AwayWhy learning to receive help can be just as powerful as giving itSo here's what I want you thinking about after this episode. What does being rich actually mean to you? Is it having more than enough for yourself or being so resourced that you can show up for others without hesitation? Diane's story is a masterclass in emotional wealth, generosity, and community. And look, that kind of life is built one choice at a time.I want to hear from you. What kind of world do you want to help create, and what role do you want to play in it? DM me on Instagram and let's talk about it. I read every message.Mentioned in This Episode:Give Back To Diane DavisOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!Goal Setting Workshop

In this moving conversation, Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Camilla, co-founder of Mylas Beleaf, a nonprofit born from unimaginable loss and transformed into a force of compassion, advocacy, and change. After her daughter Myla was diagnosed with Wilms tumor at age six and passed at eight, Camilla refused to let grief be the end of the story. Instead, she stepped into advocacy, education, and leadership raising over $2 million, partnering with 13 Florida hospitals, and supporting 300+ families navigating pediatric cancer. Camilla shares how her journey from hospitality to real estate, to nursing school, to a master's degree in leadership shaped the organization she runs today. She opens up about the realities families face, the importance of true partnership in medical care, and the values that guide MylasBeleaf's mission. She also discusses her children's book, Who Are You, Cancer? written from Myla's perspective offering kids and caregivers clarity and courage during one of life's hardest experiences. This episode is a powerful reminder that influence isn't about authority; it's about choosing purpose over pain, standing for others when they can't stand alone, and keeping compassion alive long after the world moves on.

Marcel D'Allende was in outstanding health, an avid hiker in the mountains overlooking her hometown of Cape Town, South Africa.  However, in October 2021, she began to experience shortness of breath and extreme fatigue.  That led to a diagnosis of Stage IV non-small cell adenocarcinoma, or lung cancer.  Determined not to let cancer define her, she underwent a treatment regimen of radiotherapy, then chemotherapy with carboplatin and pemetrexed, and immunotherapy with durvalumab.  In September 2022, a PET scan revealed Marcel was cancer-free.  It took a little while for her to get back up to speed, but has returned to an active lifestyle, and every weekend, you can find her hiking the mountains.   Marcel thought she was in terrific health, but in the fall of 2021, suddenly she found herself out of breath on a recurring basis.  Her difficulty with breathing became so acute that shortly after beginning a weekend hike with friends, she had no choice but to turn around and return to the base of the mountain.  Things worsened when she had frequent coughing spells.   She was seen by her general practitioner, who recommended she see a pulmonologist.  The pulmonologist called for a CT scan, which revealed a tumor on a lung, and a diagnosis of Stage IV lung cancer in January 2022.    Marcel, who during her adult life smoked cigarettes off and on, immediately thought of her father, who passed away from lung cancer in 2000.  She was afraid she would suffer the same fate.  However, her doctor said that her father's fate didn't have to be hers because of major advances in medicines and technologies in the past twenty years.    She was determined to not let her life be defined by cancer, saying at all times, one on a cancer journey must have hope.  At the same time, she says one can be hopeful without being delusional.    Her diagnosis was difficult enough, but she soon felt the sting of the stigma that often accompanies a lung cancer diagnosis.  When informing friends about her diagnosis, many of them told her should not have smoked. Marcel's treatment begins with six weeks of radiotherapy treatment, which she thought wasn't so difficult.   Next was six cycles of chemotherapy, specifically carboplatin and pemetrexed.  The worst side effects she experienced were nausea and fatigue.   Then, Marcel's oncologist introduced her to a newly-approved form of immunotherapy called durvalumab.  It is usually prescribed for a duration of twelve months, but she was taken off the immunotherapy at the nine-month mark because spots were detected on her lung.  The spots cleared in March.   In September, Marcel D'Allende underwent a PET scan that showed she was cancer-free, which she has been to this day.   She had to start slowly, but Marcel's health is back to normal, and she has returned to her weekend home, hiking trails outside Cape Town.   Additional Resources:   Support Group:   Cancer Association of South Africa  https://www.cansa.org.za   Marcel's Written Account of her Cancer Journey:   https://cansa.org.za/breaking-the-silence-around-lung-cancer/

When advanced disease becomes a long-term reality, the journey changes. It requires strength, not just to survive, but to grow deeply and find a Vibrant Life in the Face of Metastasis. This week, we talk about the incredible resilience of the human spirit that finds depth, clarity, and life's true priorities when cancer is treated as a chronic illness.https://bit.ly/4nYz15Z#VibrantLife #ChronicCancer #Metastasis #Resilience #HumanSideOfCancerIn This Episode:02:51 - South Dakota - Hot Springs and Kuchen03:31 - Advice Hotline - Get Life Tips from Senior Adults06:06 - Why Cancer is Now Considered a Chronic Disease09:00 - How Cancer Care is Adapting to the Complexity of Longer Lives with Cancer15:39 - Discussion with Charlie - What Are Early Cancer Symptoms; What About Secondary Cancers?20:52 - "My Hands" by- Joseph Hawkins22:02 - OutroFifty years ago, a cancer diagnosis often meant a short, intense battle. Today, thanks to incredible advancements in detection and treatments like immunotherapy, cancer is transforming into a chronic disease. We are seeing people with Stage IV, metastatic cancer living for ten years or more.But this new reality—this longer life—comes with a profound and often unspoken human cost: the uncertainty of cycling on and off treatment, the relentless drain of financial toxicity, and the sheer exhaustion of staying engaged. How do you plan a life when the prognosis is always shifting?In this episode, we explore what it truly means to manage advanced cancer as a chronic condition. We discuss the evolving, deeply personal relationship between the patient and their care team, the moment a diagnosis becomes a strange kind of gift that brings incredible clarity, and how we can all learn to focus on living well in the time we have.Join us as we dive into the resilience of the human spirit when faced with the long game of chronic cancer care.Support the showGet show notes and resources at our website: every1dies.org.

Real progress comes when we stop managing symptoms and start understanding the body's messages. What might yours be saying?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Erin Ellis, a naturopathic doctor whose own health journey from Non-Hodgkin lymphoma to Hashimoto's completely reshaped how she approaches healing. We talk about her path from cancer survivor to women's hormone specialist, and how she uncovered the deeper connections between thyroid autoimmunity, toxins, and genetic vulnerability. Dr. Ellis shares what helped her reverse Hashimoto's antibodies, the foundational steps she teaches her patients, and why true recovery often begins with something as simple as sleep, food quality, and reducing toxic load. Her story is a powerful reminder that the body can heal when we understand why it's reacting, not just how to suppress symptoms.This conversation might help you see your symptoms in a completely new way.

A frightening diagnosis can steal the air from a room. Nicole's story gives it back. From the shock of hearing “breast cancer” to the rhythm of surgery, sixteen chemo infusions and now the daily focus of radiation, she lets us into the real work of getting through it: making plans, asking for help and finding bright spots inside the hard days. As a mother of two and a community leader, she talks candidly about fear, the weight of uncertainty and the simple rituals that brought her peace.Those bright spots include a calm, golden-furred constant: April Sweetie, a therapy dog who turns infusion rooms into gentler spaces. With handler Larry, April visits cancer centers, ICUs and children's hospitals, offering a few minutes of ease to patients and the clinicians who care for them. We explore how therapy animals reduce anxiety and boost morale for healthcare teams who often need support as much as the people they treat. April's own journey from a breeding farm to hospital hallways mirrors the transformation that happens when care becomes truly human.For more content from Centra Health check us out on the following channels.YouTubeFacebookInstagramTwitter
