Running Out of Time

Running Out of Time

"Running Out Of Time" (ROOT) is a transformative podcast that dives deep into the complexities of living with cancer and long-term disabilities. It serves as a platform to explore how these life-altering experiences can shift our perspectives, enrich our understanding, and open up uncharted possibilities. Let's face it—life can sometimes feel like a heaping bowl of setbacks and challenges, but the beauty is that we don’t have to face it solo. As the series progresses, we'll amplify diverse voices by featuring interviews with resilient cancer survivors and brave veterans who've navigated the intricate maze of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system. We'll also explore the power of engaging hobbies that act as lifebuoys, helping us to float above the daily grind and stay anchored through the storms of life. Plus, we'll tackle anything else that spontaneously sparks our curiosity or imagination—because when life is a rollercoaster, why limit the topics we discuss? Whether you're currently battling cancer, are a triumphant survivor, a disabled veteran, or simply someone seeking a sense of community and a reminder that you're not alone in your struggles, this podcast is your sanctuary. Tune in, lean in, and let's embark on this journey together. Please note, some episodes may contain explicit content. If you're sensitive to strong language, consider this your advanced warning. All viewpoints expressed are those of the hosts; so listen wisely and responsibly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this show I talk about my battle with the dark side of chronic health issues and cancer. It's normal to have dark thoughts, it's when you are going to act on them you should absolutely seek help. I also talk about my battle with the healthcare entities. These are my personal stories and observations, nothing more. I am not a medical professional and you should seek licensed medical professionals if you need help.

On this show I talk about music and the impact it has on my life. How I got into music, how songs transport us back in time, and my use of music to cope. I also share with you one of my favorite songs I play when I need to tune the world out, with permission of the artist. The song is by Fred Crase, from the album of Old Dogs and Men, "Dad". A man I am proud to call my friend and one of the most talented people I know.

On this show I power through COVID to talk about being called out on a meme for saying, "I'm sorry" for things I can't control. It's a very real issue many of us face and it's time to stop saying "I'm sorry" for things we can't control. Thanks Connie and Jessica for today's topic. Also thanks to my dog Scout for deciding to start barking crazily today for the first time, while I'm trying to record.
