In this episode, I sit down with Anna Melikian, who’s faced multiple cancer diagnoses, to explore what resilience actually looks like when life gets very real.

Anna shares the shock of her diagnosis, how she moved from denial into action, and why having a plan gave her something to hold onto. We also talk about the reality of treatment—the parts doctors don’t fully prepare you for—and how staying connected to her work helped her maintain a sense of normalcy.

We explored:

Why resilience isn’t something you force—it’s something you grow intoThe importance of support and being open instead of going it aloneHow to take things one step at a time when the future feels overwhelmingThis is an honest conversation about uncertainty, mortality, and what it means to keep going when you don’t know how things will turn out.

We’re all just trying to figure this out together.
