As Eckhart Tolle often says, you have a life. Everything else, your worries, all your experienced sufferings are simply your life's situation. 

How we see our life and our situation can color how we live and experience life. It is sometimes hard to imagine that no matter what, we are the author of our own stories: As a palliative care physician and certified life coach, let me help remind you that if things can go wrong, they can also go right. 

Join me in my podcast as we visit people's lives and stories of how we can make our own life a great one, one chapter at a time. 

Write Your Best Chapter is a podcast about life, death and everything in between.

"It's going to be ok"

Aug 23, 2022

If you are faced with a life changing diagnosis, Troy Strawhecker has a message for you:

"It's going to be ok."

But he'll tell you: 30 years ago he almost didn't make it. 

As a young adult, he was diagnosed and had to go through the treatment of, not one, but two type of cancers. I really wanted to have him share his story. He is such a genuine and good hearted friend. When he looks back at his life, he can be vulnerable to break the stereotype of what surviving cancer does and does not mean. Most of us will never get the chance to be the fly on the wall of people's lives who survive cancer. This story is a great inside look. 

What it means to have an open and grateful heart. What it means to be imperfectly perfect every single day of our lives. No matter what hand life deals us. 

On this 30th anniversary of "You're Good to Go" announcement from his doctor, let's hear it for all who have walked the walk many don't get the chance to complete. 

I hope you enjoy this special story.
