Thank you for being here ❤️This episode touches on cancer, terminal illness and discussions around mortality. If today isn't the day for this one, honour that. We are sending you so much love. 🤍This is the most powerful conversations I have ever had on Talk Therapy. My friend of 15 years, Kellie Finlayson - bestselling author, keynote speaker, mum and truly one of the most extraordinary humans I know, sat down with me to share her story.Kellie was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer just three months postpartum. She has been living with that diagnosis for almost four years. And if you met her on the street, you would never know.This episode is not about Kellie's diagnosis, it's about how she chooses to show up when life gave her no choice.We get into:Kellie's diagnosis - what led to it, what was missed and the seven years it took to get answersBeing three months postpartum and receiving a terminal diagnosisWhy her daughter Sophia is the only reason she gets out of bed on the hardest daysWhat support actually looks like - and why the people closest to her forget she has cancerBeing called Belle Gibson 2.0 and told she should be in jail - and why she finds it hilariousThe waterfall analogy that will change the way you think about resilience foreverWhy she never plays the cancer card - even when she absolutely couldChoosing to travel, live and say yes - with stage four cancer and half a lungHow to advocate for yourself when doctors dismiss youWhat she would say to anyone sitting in a waiting room right now not being taken seriouslyWhy the people who have been through the hardest things are always the ones still showing upKellie is proof that you can be in the trenches of the hardest thing imaginable and still choose to find the light. Not because it is easy. Because it is the only option worth choosing.Go follow Kellie and get her book - links below. And if you know someone who needs to hear this today, please share it with them.

YOUR PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE!In this episode I share my experience of feeling lost in friendships, questioning where I belonged, and genuinely wondering if I would ever find 'my people'.For a long time, it felt like everyone else had their people and I just didn’t. But instead of forcing connections that didn’t feel right - I grieved a lot of friendships that I thought were 'forever' and I made the decision to hold my standard of what I wanted in my friendships, even if that meant being alone.This episode is about what happened in those “lonely” years… and how they were actually the most important part of attracting the right friendships into my life.I also dive into:How to attract aligned friendshipsWhat you need to stop doing (that might be pushing the right people away)Who you need to become to call in the friendships you wantWhy forcing friendships never works, and what to do insteadAnd of course some big sister advice from me to you!If you’ve been feeling like you don’t quite fit, like your friendships aren’t fully aligned, or like you’re still searching for your people… this episode is for you.As always, thank you so much for listening.
