January 05, 2026

You never choose the pitch, but you always choose the swing. After 6 months of interviewing top oncologists, resilient survivors, and even my own family, I’ve aggregated the absolute best strategies to help you stop fighting and start winning.

In this roundup episode of Kicking Cancer’s Ass, we aren’t just looking back; we are building your game plan. From Dr. Mindy Goldman’s advice on navigating the medical system to my son Ben’s raw truth about transparency, this is your cheat sheet for going from powerless to powerful.

We cover:

  • The “One Size Fits One” Rule: Why Dr. Amy Morris says you must ignore generic advice.
  • The Family Dynamic: How to tell your kids (and why being “selfish” might help them), featuring Ben Kaufman.
  • The Mental Game: Dr. Lise Alschuler on why self-compassion is a survival skill, not a luxury.
  • The Reality Check: Cindee Yandow on living day-by-day when you don’t know the outcome.
