In this deeply personal episode, we revisit a life-altering moment that nearly ended everything—at nearly 90 years old. Our guest opens up about receiving a lung cancer diagnosis after 70 years of smoking, and the sobering words from her thoracic surgeon: "This is red hot. You need to act now."
What follows is a story of unexpected grace. Instead of devastation, she walked away with a clean outcome: stage one, no metastasis, and a powerful reminder to count your blessings. We talk about what it means to face mortality, accept responsibility without shame, and live with gratitude for every single breath.
