Summary

In this episode, Lindsay shares the story of her father’s battle with cancer and the heartbreak from all of it.

She’s sharing lessons learned and gems of information that she thinks will be helpful as we all go through life together.

Even though the topic is very heavy, Lindsay wanted to make sure that listening to this doesn’t make you sad, but rather think about who is really important to you and make sure you are spending enough time with them… and her new life mantra…

If you have a chance take it

If you have a dream chase it

About really LIVING each day/month/year FULLY

Also…

Have the uncomfortable conversations.

Be crazy proactive about your health - listen to your body and go in on the first day that you don't feel right.

Be open to alternative treatment options.

Spend time with people that you love and be very intentional about who that is. You have to pick- not go with what you should do or have always done.

Thank you for listening and for being a part of this community. Sharing this very personal story is important and special to Lindsay and we are grateful for the lessons that come with it.

0:00.0	Well, it's been a minute. For years, I've had this outlook of not letting things bother me,
0:06.2	and I'd say, if nobody I love was diagnosed with cancer today, it was a great freaking day.
0:11.7	Even if everything went wrong just because I know none of it really matters. The things we
0:16.4	often worry about just aren't important if you zoom out far enough. Well, about five months ago,
0:22.1	that happened. My 69-year-old strong and healthy father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer
0:28.4	and passed away two weeks ago. Even though I am heartbroken, and at the beginning stages of
0:35.8	working through this, I wanted to share what it's been like
0:38.5	because I think it could really help other people who have been through it or are going
0:42.2	through it or for the future. This is not going to be a very sad episode, but rather a chat
0:48.2	about the gems of wisdom that have come from this challenging stage of life. We spend so many
0:54.1	episodes talking about how incredible life is and it is, but it can also
0:58.8	be really hard.
1:00.6	We're in it together, friends.
1:02.2	Let's go.

1:16.2	and someone who wants to do things over the top at all times.
1:20.0	This concept started as a collection of things Lindsay has learned that she was documenting
1:24.4	to get to her kids one day, and now it's a podcast.
1:27.5	Join us on this journey where we talk about how to be awesome at everything we do.
