Speaker Series Talk: Learning To Live Life Post Cancer – Kim

Our 2nd Speaker Series talk is live!  Check out Kim’s talk on Learning To Live Life Post Cancer in the video below!

It was really fun chatting with Kim about her role caregiving as a young adult after her sister’s cancer diagnosis. You’ll find great tips on learning to live life post cancer as a caregiver and much more!

To hear that my sister had cancer was an indescribable feeling. For me, the only thing harder than hearing those words, was learning to live life while going through it. The second hardest has been learning to live life post-cancer. As all consuming as cancer was and is, a tremendous power was gained when I chose to take back some control during one of the most uncontrollable situations that I will probably ever face. In doing so, I have gained a unique perspective that I hope will help others to do the same.

Speaker Series Talk: Finding Purpose – Anjali

young adult cancer speaker

Our very first Speaker Series talk is live!  Check out Anjali’s talk on Finding Purpose in the video below!

I had a great time chatting with Anjali about her passion project and how it arose after a very purposeful search.  You’ll find tips on going about your own search for purpose and lots more.

After experiencing young adult cancer, as a survivor or a caregiver, many of us have experienced feeling lost in the Now What? feeling.  After the treatments end, or if there isn’t an end, redefining how to move forward is different for everyone.  What seems to be universal, is needing to develop a new normal because that old one just doesn’t fit quite like it used to!  Anjali went out, in a very systematic fashion, to redefine what purpose meant for her.  Are you searching for purpose again?  Are you trying to find your way after young adult cancer in a world that seems a little different than before?  Then check out this talk!

In June 2016, Anjali set out on a mission to find more meaning in her work. She set a personal mission to meet 365 people in a year to see where the journey would lead her. The secret hope was that by June 2017, she would be doing work that meant something to her, with a team of amazing people, and a great boss. In this speaker series, Anjali shares the ideas, feelings, and framework she used to get from confusion to a passion.

Announcing Our New Speaker Series Program

I am so happy to announce today that we’ve launched our Speaker Series!  You’ll hear monthly from various speakers, always with young adult cancer in mind.  We’ll hear personal stories, we’ll hear about searching for purpose, genetic testing and hereditary cancers, about how legislation affects the young adult cancer community and about how you can use your voice to change the world, and more.

How will it work?  We’ll announce a Speaker Series Talk ahead of time and allow you all to submit questions to the speaker.  Then the talk will go live at 5 AM on the scheduled date.  You’ll be able to watch the talk whenever you’d like and hear your questions answered on the topic at hand.  Together we’ll learn and grow and hear answers to those tough questions.

Stay tuned later this week for our first Speaker Series Talk announcement!
