Mel Dzelde - Terminally Happy

There are many episodes on BRAVE JOURNEYS where I have cried, but not today.  Today is about celebrating life, love & finding unbridled gratitude & joy in the ordinary.

If I told you that my next guest is terminally ill with Stage 4 cancer & has also been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, it would be reasonable to assume this is a deeply sad episode of BRAVE JOURNEYS.  But its anything but!!!  

In fact, I’ll be amazed if you walk away after listening to this beautiful conversation with former radio executive & all-round legend of a human being, the magnificent Mel Dzelde, & not choose life & also choose to make every second count with delight, festivity & wonder.  

Mel certainly does!!!  She’s inspiring & empowering & I’m so honoured & thrilled to share this platform with a woman who’s a beacon of goodness, happiness & appreciation, even when she knows there may not be much time… which if you think about it, is our actual truth every day.  

We don’t know what’s around the corner, but at least we can be shown by the MASTER how to revel in what we have, while we have it.

BUT BEFORE YOU GO…
