Such sad news across the weekend that Shannon Dotti has
lost her battle with breast cancer. I mean, she has
been battling this for decades. It's been such a long time.
Of course, we remember her as Brenda Walsh on Beverly
Hills nine O two one oh or is pru Halliwell
on Charmed and recently well in Back in twenty twenty,
she launched a podcast called Let's Be Clear, where she

(00:28):
was able in her own words to talk about her
journey and the breast cancer had what they call it
metastasized to brain cancer, and that was kind of where
things were getting really wrong. But the last post she
did on Instagram was on the twenty fifth of June
where she talked about preparing, I guess for her own death.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
So I was packing up and I started crying because
I again I felt like I was giving up on
a dream. And what did that mean from me? Did
it mean that I was giving up on life? Didn't
mean that I was like throwing in the towel. I'm
talking this out with you, guys, because I have so

(01:08):
many thoughts and so many emotions about it, and I
have found this podcast would be really cathartic, so I
guess I'm using it as a therapy session. So thank
you for digging in with me and listening.
