Brené Brown: Ted Talk
In more than one episode I mention Brené Brown's TED Talk, a conversation that expressed a commitment that I fortunately discovered and took on a number of years prior to being diagnosed with cancer: transparency and the power and freedom it provides. I am forever grateful for this insight.

Jim Valvano: ESPY Speech
"When people say to me how do you get through life or each day, it’s the same thing. To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. Number three is you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special."
- Jim Valvano March 4, 1993
A dear friend recommended I listen to this speech when I was navigating my first diagnosis and I brought it up in an episode in Season Two and felt very much inspired to share it here with you. It's a beautiful, beautiful speech and you will be inspired by it.
