July energy was all about taking a leap for ourselves. Saying what we want and what we don't want. Dear Diary and I have been fully embracing this energy and finally get a chance to catch up with each other on the last day of the month!
Meet Jessica Dasler—stage 4 colorectal cancer thriver, mom, and advocate from North Vancouver. Diagnosed at 37 after a year of being dismissed by the healthcare system, she was told she was incurable and had just two years to live.
But Jessica refused to accept that. She built her own care team, pursued advanced treatments across Canada, and focused on thriving—not just surviving. She’s undergone numerous major procedures, including surgeries to her colon, spine, ribs, and lungs, as well as cryoablation and countless rounds of SBRT and chemotherapy. She’s using her voice and experience to help other cancer patients get the best care possible—to live longer and enjoy a better quality of life. Using HOPE TO LIVE
Simple and easy reflection for where I am right now. Isn't it powerful that we carry pieces and stories of ourselves always. It is just important that we can make space for within us in an understanding way. I am here with here with such gratitude and sharing so much love for my friends and family. WE DID IT!

In today’s episode, I openly discuss my ongoing breast cancer journey—sharing the fatigue, the emotional waves, and the quiet strength that is carrying me through. I talk about the power of community, the magic of numerology, and how a new home can hold new energy for healing. I also reflect on aging with grace (sort of), letting go of appearances, and reconnecting deeply with myself. It’s a conversation filled with honesty, wisdom, and a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, there’s space for self-love and hope. Let’s dive in.

Today’s episode features Daisy — born and raised in Vancouver, BC — a mother, librarian, reader, and resilient soul. After a lifelong career in public libraries serving children, teens, and families, Daisy found herself facing something she never expected: breast cancer.
Now on the other side, she's navigating what it means to heal, to rediscover joy, and to find purpose again — this time, through volunteer work hospital based settings. Grab a cup of tea, settle in — this is Daisy’s story.
One minute the race was just beginning and I was tying my shoes at the starting line and suddenly I am seeing the finish line become closer and closer. As I get to that end mark...I realize some interesting things...I begin to discuss them today.
After years of monitoring her health due to a Lynch syndrome diagnosis (a genetic mutation predisposing her to colon and endometrial cancers), Stacy Graham thought she was prepared for anything—until life handed her a completely unrelated challenge: stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer.In this episode, Stacy shares her experience navigating the highs, the lows, and the uncertain in-betweens—accepting the hard days, making the most of the good ones, and doing her best with whatever each day brought. Her treatment journey included six months of chemotherapy, three surgeries (with one more pending), 25 rounds of radiation, and another six months of clinical trial chemotherapy to help reduce the risk of recurrence.More than a story of survival, Stacy’s cancer journey became a powerful catalyst for transformation. It led her to revisit her deepest values, realign her goals, and ultimately step away from a successful corporate career in senior leadership to pursue a life more aligned with her purpose.Today, just seven months out from her final chemotherapy session and three months post-surgery, Stacy is in the practicum phase of becoming an ICF-certified Life Coach. Known as the “What’s Next?!” Coach and founder of Return Stronger, she helps others figure out what's next for them—whether that means breaking unhealthy habits, rebuilding a new life, or reconnecting with their purpose and moving confidently toward it.Stacy believes we are never guaranteed tomorrow—so love fiercely, live fully, and chase your dreams today.Learn more about Stacy’s story and her work at returnstronger.ca.
In this episode, Dear Diary and I catch up on life lately. She shares her RV adventure with her husband—so much beauty, nature, and those sweet retirement-vibes starting to sneak in. I open up about the peaceful joy I'm discovering in the quiet spaces of life. It's all about appreciating the little things and finding connection in the calm.
Today, you’ll meet Danielle Sallam — a mystic human I’ve had the honour of witnessing unfold. Dani did both levels of energy training at Bliss, and it’s been pure joy watching her trust herself more deeply in this mysterious, beautiful world of energy as well as taking a giant leap of moving from Vancouver to Dubai.
She is now a sound healer. A space holder. A quiet guide who walks you back home — through stillness, vibration, and the tender medicine of meditation.
In this episode, we talk about healing. About what it means to grow, to listen, to follow that inner nudge, even when it is not what we want to hear. We dive into sound as a sacred tool, the rough patches and softness of moving to Dubai, and the wild wisdom of nature.
There’s a thread that runs through it all — self-trust, self-discovery, and that quiet, bright light we all carry inside.
Today, I’m sharing a glimmer of where I am in this wild journey—honestly and with realism.
I’m about halfway through my treatment. I’m in the valley, deep in the tough parts, but at the same time, I’m starting to see the light—and it’s shining with so much more brilliance than I ever expected.
I’ve heard it said that those who can feel the depths of sorrow are also capable of experiencing the truest love. And that’s becoming more and more real for me.
This journey is full of sharp edges and soft landings, unexpected grief, and surprising grace. And in sharing it, I hope to create space for truth—yours and mine.

We explore the emotional impact on family, the importance of advocacy in the medical system, and the supportive community that emerged during this challenging time. Hannah shares insights on the different types of breast cancer, the significance of genetic testing, and the lessons learned about resilience and living life fully after cancer.
Dear Diary and I are back after a very long period of silence. Well who am I kidding?!? Dear Diary and I are never quiet but we have just not done a podcast in a while! So, I felt the nudge to start putting these back on again. Here we go!!
Tune on in with me as I share the humble and strong journey I am on right now...sharing only what I can do best- my own story, this part about breast cancer.
It has been some time since I last spoke into this space, and I’ve gone back and forth on whether to return. And now, well, now it feels like the time has arrived—not just for me, but for anyone who might want to lean in, listen, and perhaps find something here for themselves as well.
I’m starting a new journey now, one I never expected to take: a journey with breast cancer. And I’ve been wondering how I want to share this story, how I want to speak about it and where. But in the quiet of these thoughts, I realized this is the place for me. This space. Here, I can pour my words and my heart, in all their rawness, their messiness, their uncertainty.
And so I return. For myself, and for anyone else who needs to hear something, anything, that might make this journey a little less daunting.
