This week we're exploring a chronic illness that we haven't before, and yet is extremely common - cancer. The lessons from this episode, can easily be applied to any chronic illness though. And we all know or have known someone with cancer. My guest this week is Em Veach who shares her story and what has helped her.
In this episode we talk about:

• metastatic breast cancer
• ways to improve your well-being after a cancer diagnosis
• a new product for cancer patients from Em's startup, Casual Recovery
