Minister La La sits down with Amy and Michael Conn, two fabulous human beings who share their story of how cancer interrupted their lives and how they didn't allow it to destroy their lives. But instead turned Amy's diagnosis into positivity and uplifting their communities!
This is a long episode, but worth the time to hear their insights. They are easy to listen to and exude their love and fabulosity they have for their community and family.
Learn about how fire is not the only on the job hazard that firefighters face! Michael shares how cancer is one of the leading causes of death for firefighters! Learn how firefighters are changing that and battling the causes, the stigma, and how they help their firefighting brothers and sisters!
Twenty years ago Amy Conn was a special education teacher and a mother of two young children when breast cancer interrupted her life. Rather than seeing it as a tragedy she chose to call it an “adventure” and that perspective changed everything!
Amy Conn is a teacher turned healer! A 34 year veteran special education teacher and E-RYT yoga instructor with over 2000 training hours! A reiki practitioner and certified Light Worker. She is a founder of A quality Life Community ( a non-profit serving Cancer Survivors.) She has a couple education degrees from the University of Utah, she is a doctoral candidate. She is also a Published Researcher on yoga interventions for burn survivors.
Her cancer jouney inspired her book Revealing Grace: A Story About a Cancer Adventur and a Community. She wrote it 20 years ago, but will release a revised edition on October 18th! She will talk more about what has changed in the last 20 years and what you can expect from this second edition!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
