74. Kris Carr’s Courageous Journey Through Stage 4 Cancer, Grief, and LOVE

Today, we have a very special guest who just celebrated her 21 year anniversary living and thriving with stage four cancer.
You may recognize Kris Carr from The Oprah Winfrey Show or as the New York Times Bestselling Author of I’m Not a Mourning Person. As a cancer survivor myself, I admit to being a longtime admirer (and stalker!) of Kris's work, even before my own diagnosis. Having followed Kris as an Oprah Super Soul 100 member, Kris revealed to me, and countless others, how she gained control of her anxiety after an incurable cancer diagnosis.
In this candid conversation, we reflect on Kris's story, as a post-cancer survivor and thriver, and we celebrate her resilience and the recent milestone of her 21st anniversary since her stage four cancer diagnosis.
As Kris shares her experience, she paints a picture of gratitude and stability, discusses the quirks of tumor behavior, and being able to find levity in life's most challenging moments.

I was SHOCKED to hear that when I buy frozen fish, it's frozen TWICE. It's usually frozen right after being caught, defrosted, processed, and then frozen again. I buy a lot of frozen fish; sometimes, the taste and texture can be inconsistent.
Now that I have a better understanding of the processing of the fish before it hits my plate, it makes me wonder about quality. I called a friend who works at ButcherBox and asked her about the process with their salmon. She assured me that BB only freezes the fish ONCE! Which helps preserve the nutrients and taste.
The big one for me is texture. When I eat fish, I want a firm texture, not rubbery! After getting over my shock (yes, fooled again by the food corporations),
I asked my BB friend if I could pretty-please offer free salmon to my community. She said yes, so if you use the code 'enos', you can get free salmon (2 pounds) free for a year and $20 off of your first box.

I love Kris. I couldnt find any source of coping with my cancer diagnosis other than her. I pray for her. There are some bloggers commenting and saying her tumors were never a malignant type. Giving false hope to others. While I dont know if thats true or not, theres no such thing as false hope. God is Hope. You can gain hope from God whenever you like.
