Come with me to Florida! I take you along for a SURPRISE! My mission was to hand deliver my upcoming book to my mom and Nana because the book is dedicated to them!

It's been a YEAR since I've spoken to you all from this podcast! 2023 has been my year of healing (and that mission will continue forever) but I've specifically spent time OFF screens, hence the podcast break.

When I was waiting to find out if I had cancer, my life flashed before me with a specific memory. It was 20 years ago, when I was 10 years old. I watched in downtown Chicago as my mom finished walking 60 miles, three days of camping out and raising thousands of dollars for breast cancer research. As I watched that memory play out in my head, I thought, f*ck, I am going to have breast cancer. This was actually meant to be. Touché, God.

In honor of my first cancerversary coming up on Friday, I'm sharing a piece of my cancer journey I've never said aloud before. In this audio essay, I answer the prompt, "It all started when..." At this time last year, I was ruminating over and over wondering whether my life was about to change forever or not. And sure enough, on October 14, 2021, it did.

Let's flip the script! This time, I'm the one being interviewed.

When we did this interview in early June, I was justttt beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Cam Ayala was born with a disease called primary lymphedema which after years of chronic pain and swelling led to an above the knee amputation earlier this summer.

This episode was originally recorded one year ago with one of my dearest podcast BFF's, Viviana. I'm bringing it out of the vault because we talk about a topic I've thought about soooo much since my cancer diagnosis, aging.

This episode I am reflecting back on Chemo 5 and 6 which were from April 14, 2022 to the end of the month. This time period is when depression and anxiety aggressively poisoned my mind.
