05: For When You Get Cancer

What do you tell yourself when life hands you a plot twist? Lindsay Jean Thomson shares how she has dealt with finding out she has Stage 3 cancer, losing her hair, the right (and wrong) things to say, and how to change your own narrative when life happens.

WTF is FWY?

You know how when life gets difficult or uncomfortable and we're in all this unknown, we sometimes look outside of ourselves for answers? We Google shit like, "Should I break up with my boyfriend?" Or we ask our barista if they think we should quit our jobs or start that business. We know they can't tell us and life isn't a test we can cheat on, but we're asking because we just want to feel better. To feel lighter and less alone in whatever we're dealing with.

Enter: This podcast. Through interviews with people who dealt with hard things and lived to tell the tale, this show is here to give you permission to chill the eff out, laugh a little, feel like you're on the right track, and you're gonna be okay ('cause you are). So, if you're a human with feelings, subscribe.

Created and hosted by writer, long-time yoga teacher and self-help extraordinaire, Jessica Kenny.
