Episode 4: Alexa Wilding on Caregiving, Minor-Major Characters in Your Story & Two Cancer Diagnoses in One Family

Today we have the honor to connect with the unwillingly enlightened, temporarily brilliant, alchemical cancer mom Alexa Wilding. She is a musician, writer and mother of 7 year old sons West and Lou, who was recently diagnosed with cancer for the second time. This is a special episode in so many ways -- and represents more than just Alexa’s family story. Her words weave a golden thread, a magical life-line that connects us to what matters most in life and how we can all be united by it. It is also a rare view into the prismatic, internal life of a woman ascending -- and the wise and poetic lessons she’s learned along the way.In listening to Alexa’s story, we are awakened... Better able to lean in bravely to the scary plot twists of our own lives AND to leave our fear and egos behind as we care for others who are suffering. Join us to hear her candid, humorous and magical lessons about surrender, patience, true love, silver linings, loneliness, past selves, perspective, clarity, dignity, and acceptance. We laugh, we cry, we lean in. Relevant links:- Alexa's instagram- Alexa's website- How I Became A Cancer Mom: Alexa’s article in Parents.com- Alexa’s family’s GoFundMe site to share and donate!- Leonard Cohen - Anthem song - Spotify - Lyrics- I’m OK - You’re OK by Thomas Harris- Molly Rosen Guy - @mollyrosenguy - @stonefoxride- Desperately Seeking Susan movieToday’s episode is supported by Daughter of the Land- a skincare line created using clean, organic, fair-trade ingredients and created with sustainability in mind.
