"This is going to be the most positive experience of my life. I am going to help so many people through this experience. This does not happen to someone like me, in this way, for no reason."
— Justin's first words upon hearing he had a brain tumor
February 3rd, 2014. I was 35. I had just had a seizure at my desk at SESAC in Nashville. Five doctors walked into my ER room. And somehow — I was at peace.
What followed was brain surgery, 15 months of chemotherapy and radiation, and the deepest education of my life. The mind-body tools I'd been learning for years became survival. I wrote them down. I lived them. And I'm still living them — currently back in treatment at Vanderbilt, and still, deeply grateful.
The practices work. I want to share them with you.
