What I Was Fighting For

What happens when the fight is technically over, but you don't feel like you won anything yet?

In this episode, I sit down with my best friend Jenni — a therapist, a cancer survivor, and someone who has quite literally watched me fall apart and put myself back together more times than I can count. We talk about what life actually looks like after chemo ends: the strange grief of finishing treatment, the pressure to feel grateful when you mostly feel exhausted, and the identity work nobody warns you about when "surviving" becomes the thing you're supposed to move past.

Jenni also opens up about a question that's been sitting with her lately — what it might look like to turn this experience into the work she does with clients, and what it means to sit across from someone going through what she's already lived.

This one is honest, funny in the way only two people who've known each other forever can be, and it doesn't try to wrap cancer up with a bow. If you've ever finished a fight and wondered why it didn't feel like finishing, this conversation is for you.
