Key takeaways
• Performance doesn't fail first — clarity does. Resource yourself before you try to fix anything.
• The crisis isn't where you win or lose. It's what you do after: recalibrate, reorient, reframe.
• The ALOHA Reboot: Acknowledge, Listen, Open, Harness, Act (with courage).
• You can't control your blood counts, your boss, or the outcome — only your emotional state and response.
• In the heat of a crisis: ground your feet, name the trigger, and don't underestimate stillness and silence.
• After 200 survivor interviews, one thread shows up every time: self-forgiveness.• Focus on vision over goals — how you want to feel and be, not just the milestone.

I Survived Cancer and Here Is How I Did It: 35 Cancer Survivors Share Their Journey
I almost died in 2014. Hearing those deafening words - "it is stage 3" - tore me up. But I promised myself that if I made it to the five year remission mark and was still cancer free that I would make it count. As a syndicated columnist for Authority Magazine and Thrive Global, I have interviewed nearly 175 cancer survivors from all walks of life. In this book, I share the true stories of 35 of those survivors and what they learned physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually from this very difficult experience which has forever shaped their worldview. In I Survived Cancer and Here Is How I Did It the intention is to spread hope for second chances. That cancer is not a death sentence. There is life and healing after cancer. Picking up the broken pieces from a long-term illness is not an easy feat. The battle is often fought not in the realm of wishful thinking, but in the world of willful action.
