A Closet Full of Shoes

Cancer for Breakfast

Stef’s back from the YSC Summit and Amy has a giggle at the expense of Laughter Yoga. Fun in public really gets Stef’s goat. Then, what’s the deal with longevity? Perhaps the Seventh Day Adventists can spill the beans…or at least share them? Next, it’s our *privilege* to read a letter from a listener that holds a mirror up to cancer spaces and asks why we’re all so eager to get back to our old bodies—weren’t they trying to kill us?? Here’s the skinny; it’s time for everyone to start reading the room. The body you’re shaming might not (just) be your own. Another letter (that begins at 26:10 for those who need to peace out) breaks our hearts with a request for resources for a kiddo with a terminal brain tumor. Have we mentioned recently that a mere 4% of overall funding goes to childhood cancers? RATS continues the conversation on DIPG, a devastating disease of the brain. We’ve got books, podcasts, and websites to recommend, but what’s really needed is research. Links are below to donate in Walter’s memory.
