From Cancer Diagnosis to Rowing the Mediterranean: How Brooke King Chose Joy Over Fear
What do you do when life blindsides you with a cancer diagnosis at 29? If you're Brooke King—you fight back with joy, adventure, and one hell of a bucket list.
In this powerful episode of All Can. No Can’t., I sit down with Brooke, an adventure-seeker turned cancer survivor, who's using her story to raise awareness, inspire healing, and literally row her way to remission—across the Mediterranean. From riding the world’s deadliest train to navigating the medical maze of thyroid cancer, Brooke’s story is about resilience, radical positivity, and rewriting your narrative when life throws a curveball.
We talk about:
Survivor's guilt and redefining strength
How to self-advocate in a broken healthcare system
Finding healing through storytelling and community
Why joy is a practice, not a personality trait
Her upcoming ocean row and how it’s helping fund cancer research
Whether you're navigating your own obstacle or supporting someone who is, Brooke's story will remind you that pain can be a portal—and joy is still possible.
From Cancer Diagnosis to Rowing the Mediterranean: How Brooke King Chose Joy Over Fear is more than a title—it’s a blueprint for turning adversity into adventure.
