Cancer doesn’t wait, nor should you. Whether you’re facing cancer yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode with Deb Krier will give you the tools and mindset to take action today. Don’t settle—fight back now. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and today’s episode, ‘Stop Settling for ‘Fine’—Fight Cancer Now,’ is a must-listen.

Deb Krier is an entrepreneur, cancer advocate, and the visionary behind tryingnottodie.LIVE. Diagnosed with Stage 4 triple-positive breast cancer in 2015 and thyroid cancer in 2023, Deb has transformed her challenges into a mission to help others.

Deb shares how to move beyond just being ‘fine’ with cancer. We discuss her deeply personal moments from her cancer journey that profoundly impacted her outlook on life and how having cancer has changed her self-perception and work. She offers advice on coping with fear and provides insights on how her business skills have helped her deal with cancer—lessons others can learn from.

She also talks about the unique initiatives of tryingnottodie.LIVE, including special projects that make a significant difference in the lives of cancer patients. We discuss the importance of a support system, with practical advice for building a supportive network, and address the feeling of being overwhelmed and disconnected after a cancer diagnosis.

Finally, we discuss the Legacy she hopes to leave through her work and its potential impact on future generations of cancer patients and survivors.
