On this episode of WE Have Cancer, Lee is joined by actress and singer Erin Cronican to chat about her experience battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, continuing to perform and produce plays with her theater company, and blogging her entire journey since 1998. Erin speaks candidly about the roles of grief and gratitude in her life, and the comfort she finds in her work and daily routine.  Guest Biography: Erin Cronican is an award-winning director, actor, and singer based in New York. She currently serves as Executive Artistic Director at The Seeing Place Theater in New York City. In 2018, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, and has been undergoing chemotherapy, treatments, and scans ever since. She has been blogging since the 90's and continues to document her life at her self-titled blog, “The Erin Cronicals,” where she provides transparency, awareness, and levity as she navigates her cancer journey. Table of Contents:Do we owe anyone vulnerability? Sometimes vulnerability and openness can be a double-edged sword. When Erin found out she had stage 4 breast cancer, she went through surgery during the midst of production with her theatre company. "I wanted my art to stand on its own." Erin started chemotherapy in March 2019, and was scheduled to open a show in April 2019. She lost 40 pounds in 4 months due to a tumor leaning on her adrenal gland. She says when she started the show, she was not the energetic person people expected her to be. Critics found all kinds of reasons to call her the “weak link” of the show; they had no idea she had breast cancer. Normalize the Daily Struggle  Erin says, in a way, all cancer patients are actors to a certain extent. Everyone puts on a face around family members so they don't worry as much, we downplay our feelings, friends tell us “Oh you look great!”  The Comfort of Routine, Blogging, and Storytelling Erin started blogging back in the 1990's while she was in college. She learned to code websites, and started writing a daily diary on her HTML website. She started her current blog when she moved to NYC in 2005. When she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in 2015, the blog morphed into being more medically driven. Grief and Gratitude Can Coexist Erin explains on her blog how she can be grieving the life that she used to have, and also be grateful for the life she has now. She wrote that two months before her mother's death; and now she's also dealing with the grief of losing a parent and the collective grief of living through a pandemic. Sometimes in the cancer community there's a toxic positivity aspect; it's okay to make room for grief.  “I'm grateful for my chemotherapy.” When her blood counts are too low and she can't get chemo, Erin admits she's very sad. She considers it to be medicine and nothing toxic. Since she's been so stable recently, she's getting her scans every four months instead of every three. She says the "scanxiety" she feels is more a concern in having to change her regimen and less about worrying if the cancer comes back. “Even good news brings anxiety.” Leaving chemo, stable scans, or going off medications are all great, but they can come with extra worries about whether you're doing the right thing. Erin shares the common fear among cancer patients introducing any change to their regimen: will I pay for this later? Battling Cancer Alongside her Mother Her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer just as Erin was finishing up with radiation treatments from her first bout of cancer. It was completely overwhelming. Her mother was diagnosed as stage 4, but she was on chemo for 11 months. One of her lungs collapsed, and she passed away just before Covid hit in early 2020. How has Covid impacted Erin's work as an actress? Erin says her theater company is "very tenacious," they even created a program called Ripple For Change which pairs them with nonprofit organizations doing social justice work....

As a professional actor/singer based in NYC, Erin spends a great deal of time directing and producing.  She runs an up-and-coming non-profit theater company in New York City, after many years in marketing and communications in both the non-profit and corporate realms. Erin has also been a corporate trainer for many years, teaching executives skills in emotional intelligence, effective management, and conflict resolution.  The main focus is on intimate musicals and plays, independent film and raw & challenging television.  Her first love is telling a story through song, and a live audience is just about the best thing on the planet.  Erin always goes after what she wants with fervor -- be it an intellectually stimulating career, an idealized romance that makes her swoon, or the perfect slice of pizza. She loves to laugh, and pokes fun at herself on a regular basis.TOPICS discussed: Leadership PrincipleAssume the best of others - it's all in the perspectiveKey HabitCreates lots of lists - checking things off is very catharticVisual calendar Be Present - this allows you to welcome others and be their cheerleaderNEXT Steps: Assume the best of others Strive to be Present Look for the stories you want to tell Be a citizen of the worldFIND Erin:Instagram:  @erin_cronicanTwitter @ErinCronicanWebsite The Seeing Place Theater & erincronican.comLinked in:  (18) Erin Cronican | LinkedInFIND Andrea:Newsletter:  Optimistic LivingMini Course: “Uncovering Your Core Values” NEW Membership Community: Launch From The Beach - Membership CommunityEmail me at andrea@theintentionaloptimist.comJoin me over in the Intentional Optimists Facebook GroupGrab your FREE:Andrea's Favorite Planning & Productivity tools“Ultimate DISC communication Cheat Sheet”Get your own DISC Assessment, and don't forget the 10% discount (code "PODCAST") at check out!Email me at andrea@theintentionaloptimist.com  so I can be your professional encourager!  ●  Follow on Instagram @theintentionaloptimist  ●  Linked In Andrea JohnsonNoom: A Mindful Way to Eat Learn how to intentionally challenge your mindset in order to take control of your health.Skillshare: Spark your creativity.

Welcome to episode 42 of Mind Bloom! This week, I've taped the episode LIVE on Instagram again. As you can probably tell by now, I'm quite fascinated by the potencial of LIVES and IGTV. Not only, are they a great source of engagement (and fun, truth be told), but they are also a great way to double or triple your content and half your time on the platform or, say, editing a podcast episode. It's all about the self-care, right? So try going Live: you'll get a story, perhaps an Instagram Reel, a video for other platforms, and an IGTV post from only one piece of content. Easy peasy. Want to make that your goal for the week? One Instagram Live? Let's go, you've got this! This week, I'm talking about false support systems and empathy fails. I'm also going to challenge you to guess what my latest great news is. Can you guess? You definitely want to stay tuned for more. My guest this week is Erin Cronican. Erin is an actor, producer, and the co-artistic director of The Seeing Place. She is an activist and a staunch advocate for mental health who believes in creativity, freedom and a tasty bourbon. Erin lives with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer and is here to tell us more about her first and second diagnoses and the importance of self-advocating.

A dramatic reading with Erin Cronican of running into a wall, a turning point, and options. After, a repeat of Erin Cronican's interview on breast cancer, treatment during a pandemic, and personal legacy.
