If you or someone you love has been recently diagnosed with cancer, I can’t recommend this resource enough, ESPECIALLY if you’re in the age range this book is intended for (18-49).

I can’t say enough good things about it, and I am so, sooo honored to have narrated it.

This book tackles the shock of diagnosis, toxic positivity, side effects, fertility, recovery, and even end of life planning … and the resources section is basically a who’s who of cancer charities.

I had the uncanny feeling that this author had reached inside my brain, combed my memories and experiences around my diagnosis, and put them on the page. That’s how close my experiences mirrored the ones Cristina talks about in detail.

As I prepped this manuscript for narration, I was constantly FLOORED by how much this author knew about the specific experiences that young/early adults have in the cancer space. We’re a rare bunch (less than 4% of cancer patients are in the young/early adult age range). It’s normal to feel alone.

It was!! And my social anxiety does sooo much better at these chill events where we get to just talk and visit with each other. You can actually get to know industry people, rather than the barely 5-minute conversations that are the norm at the big industry conference.

I chose the campfire, had sooo many wonderful conversations with old friends and new, and with mentors who’ve turned into friends.

Suffice it to say, I loved it. :)

NENR was basically four days tucked in the woods, attending workshops and coaching sessions with experienced industry pros (I got to coach with the incredibly gracious Paul Allen Ruben and super cool human Peter Berkrot).

The evenings are spent either doing karaoke or hanging around a campfire. :)
