I share conversations with regular everyday people from around the world who are admired for their resilience. They have managed a major life challenge, found a purpose from it and now help others to be resilient too. Back in 2019 I spoke with a woman by the name of Dawn Custode. She loved to sail, travel, spend time helping the causes that she held dear and having fun with loved ones. \n\nWhen we spoke she was dying of colon cancer, a disease that she had lived with for two and a half years. \n\nShe was spending her remaining days imparting her wisdom on life for the living. And she had some terrific advice such as getting regularly screened for colon cancer, keep adding things to the calendar to look forward to, live with no regrets and be mindful of time because tomorrow is not guaranteed. \n\nDawn believed that much of her resilience came from moving often as a child. She felt that it made her an extrovert and someone who was able to land on her feet and move forward. \n\nPerhaps this helped her through her cancer diagnosis too. The ability to look at this challenge and find positive ways to move forward from it. \n \nIt's a great conversation and I'm so grateful that she shared some time with me. \n\nOur talk came at a time when my own husband was living with terminal brain cancer called glioblastoma.\n\nDawn and I both agreed that having conversations like this are helpful and connect us with likeminded people. \n\nI hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
