Too Young to Be Old: How Breast Cancer Gave Me a New Life — Diane Gilman’s Survivor Story
Host: Diane Gilman
Diane gets raw, hopeful, and deeply personal as she shares how a diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer didn’t just challenge her body—it transformed her entire being. In this special Breast Cancer Awareness Month episode, Diane recounts finding gratitude, humility, purpose, and true resilience even when hope seemed distant. Her story is a living roadmap for anyone seeking light and meaning after the unthinkable happens.
What You’ll Hear:
- Why cancer became a catalyst for spiritual and emotional growth, rewiring Diane’s daily attitude toward gratitude, laughter, and appreciating the ordinary
- How a “hopeless” diagnosis and lack of family support pushed her to create new sources of strength, from her medical team to a virtual community of survivors
- The surprising truth: treating breast cancer as a reset button, Diane found clarity on her career, her need for self-care, and her real mission for later life
- The importance of surrendering control, letting go of perfectionism, and ultimately choosing to view adversity as an engine for growth
- A survivor’s message: we have the power—not just to survive, but to reinvent, thrive, and light the way for others
