What happens when you’re given just months to live—and decide not just to survive, but thrive?

In this inspiring episode of All Talk Oncology, Kenny Perkins speaks with Jana Short, a woman who transformed a terminal diagnosis into a global mission of hope and holistic healing. After losing her stomach, surviving sepsis, and being fed intravenously for months, Jana made a choice to rewrite her story—starting with her mindset.

From launching a magazine with over 1.8 million subscribers to becoming a coach and podcast host, Jana shares the journey that taught her how powerful the words we tell ourselves truly are.

Key points discussed:

  • Jana’s diagnosis and near-death experience with gastroparesis and sepsis
  • How essential oils and holistic research sparked her healing path
  • The mental shift that made survival possible—and sustainable
  • Why she refuses to speak negatively about her body, even at her weakest
  • The Yet Factor and how changing your language can unlock resilience
  • Her raw and real story of unlearning self-judgment and embracing self-love
  • Building Best Holistic Life Magazine from a Canva experiment to a global platform
  • Lessons on aging joyfully and creating meaningful connections
  • The power of receiving love—and believing you deserve it

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
