September 2016. I'm staring at myself in the bathroom mirror at work, and I just know something is wrong.
Not a lump. Not a symptom. Just... knowing.
Six weeks later, I'm pulling off the freeway into a Panda Express parking lot, my doctor's words ringing in my ears: "You were right. This is cancer."
Kidney cancer. At 36. A 3-inch mass that my body had been screaming at me about for months.
But this isn't a sad cancer story. This is the story of how my body gave me an ultimatum I couldn't ignore: remember why you're here, or keep creating the disease that's trying to kill you.
After years of living out of alignment with my purpose—working a $29K job, staying in a marriage that wasn't working, people-pleasing until I couldn't breathe—my body said ENOUGH.
I had the surgery. But I didn't do chemo or radiation. Because I understood: cancer wasn't the problem. Cancer was the symptom. The problem was that I wasn't living my purpose.
You'll hear about:

• How I found the cancer intuitively before any test could prove it
• Why I knew deep down that if my body created this, it would keep creating it
• The 5-year journey of removing everything that no longer belonged
• How I learned to love myself on a cellular level (not woo-woo, actual science)
• Bob Proctor's teachings on imagination, will, and perception that saved my life
• How remembering my mission turned cancer into my greatest teacher
• Why stepping into your "Original Medicine" isn't optional—it's survival
• The exact process I used to go from cancer to millions (vision + will + aligned action)

This is the pivotal episode. The moment I remembered why I'm here. The moment I chose my purpose over playing small.
And here's what I want you to know: you don't need cancer to give you permission. Your body is already trying to bring you back to your purpose. Are you listening?
Sometimes the thing that almost destroys you is actually your soul forcing you to remember why you're here.
