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

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
