Most of us move through life assuming we have time—time to fix relationships, chase dreams, and become the person we’re meant to be. But what happens when time is no longer guaranteed? In this episode, we dive deep into the raw and transformative journey of someone who faced that reality head-on.
Terry Guthrie, a longtime friend of the show, opens up about his battle with brain cancer and the seismic shift it created in his life. From confronting mortality to redefining his purpose, Terry shares what it truly means to live—not just exist. He speaks candidly about the fears, struggles, and unexpected gifts that came with his diagnosis. We explore how adversity reshapes our perspectives, the healing power of relationships, and the role spirituality plays in finding meaning when everything else falls apart.
This episode isn’t just about illness—it’s about awakening. Whether you're navigating your own challenges or simply seeking a deeper connection to life, Terry’s story will push you to reflect on what truly matters. His journey is a testament to resilience, the importance of family, and the power of embracing life with intention.
