Walking Each Other Home with Spiritual Midwife Jade Young, MDIV
CancerTalks Podcast
04/29/22 • 66 min
Jade describes herself as a spiritual midwife. She spent the first 20 years of her professional life building a consulting business. When her mother was diagnosed with cancer Jade redirected her timme and energy to support her mother. Following her mother’s death Jade spent years grieving, healing and recalibratinng her life. She said goodbye to the Bay Area and goodbye to consulting. For the 20 years since then Jade has been deepening her spiritual practice and fine tuning herself as an instrument of healing in the death and dying process.
Jade reminds us that healing is not a rush job. As she puts it “you cannot force the river.” In order to become an instrument of healing, Jade first had to let herself heal, and in order to let herself heal, she moved from the fast lane to the slower pace of the Big Island and asked the ocean to hold her grief. This conversation winds and circles back on itself many times, just like the process of grieving.

Trust in Healing: In Conversation with Naturopath Dr. Chris Holder
CancerTalks Podcast
08/20/21 • 46 min
Naturopathic doctor Chris Holder invites his patients to explore everything that led up to their cancer diagnosis - medical, spiritual, emotional - in order to empower patients to make changes in their lives that might prevent cancer recurrence.
Chris talks with Claire about the power of educating patients so they can make their own health decisions without fear. His healing practice centers around trust - whether a patient is working to stay on this planet, or making peace with death. The process of building trust requires a lot of listening - taking the time to understand a person’s belief system and any trauma that might be getting in the way of healing.

One of the many people who we think is embodying a world without cancer is Rupa Marya, co-author of Inflamed: Deep Medicine and the Anatomy of Injustice. On a recent podcast, Rupa describes what she means by deep medicine and invites us to rethink our understanding of health. Her description aligns perfectly with our vision of a world without cancer so we decided to share the whole thing right here, edited slightly for flow:
Deep medicine is recognizing that health exists beyond individuals. Health is an emergent phenomenon of systems within systems working in their optimum state. So we can try to get health as an individual, but we will not be as successful as [we would be] getting health for whole communities together... And by that, I mean the human and the more than human communities. I mean the water, and the air, and the microbes in the forest. So deep medicine is understanding how all of those things must intersect to create health, and that we have to open our perspectives and our ways of knowing to all the keepers of deep medicine, not just the doctors or the healthcare workers, but that our farmers, our frontline indigenous grandmothers standing up against Line 3 right now; that these are all people working for health. And when we work together and collectively and across disciplines together, we can create a different kind of reality. We can create a health for everybody. When we start imagining food as a right as it has been for thousands of years before capitalism, where our food and medicine have always been coexistent. They haven't been separated from each other—and it’s still that way in many cultures around the world. When we insist upon our medicine, being outside of the tiny vocabulary of pharmaceuticals, not that we abandon science, Western science, or we abandon even those pharmaceuticals, but we abandon the logic of domination that they have been structured by and that we take back our right to have access to these things to be healthy when we need them. And that we incorporate the full range of languages and vocabularies of medicines, be they plant medicines, medicines of song, medicines of relationships, in order to achieve a vision and a reality of our health. So these practices are not... I'm not just talking about things that don't exist. These are things that are an active practice in communities around the world today.

Claire invited Polly Hoppin on to CancerTalks to highlight the power and the potential of focussing on cancer prevention, in addition to treatment. Polly co-founded the national Cancer Free Economy Network. The Network shares our vision for a world where no one gets sick from toxic chemicals polluting the places they live, learn, work, and play.

Pauline is a force of nature. A “motorcycle mama,” as her kids call her, Pauline has faced two near-death experiences head-on. Rather than closing her eyes and wishing illness away, she believes in inviting it in as you would a guest in your home. When not writing, counseling, and speaking, Pauline enjoys traveling, singing, dancing, walking on the beach with her dog, Poe, and riding her motorcycle down long winding roads.

Creativity as Medicine with Expressive Art Therapist Nandi Szabo
CancerTalks Podcast
11/25/22 • 46 min
In this episode, Nandi Szabo shares what she’s learned through decades of expressive art therapy. Nandi cultivates safe environments where people come together and discover what is seeking expression during the cancer journey.
Nandi’s workshops approach the cancer experience from many different angles, starting with an invitation to meet yourself where you are. All of them incorporate some element of movement - moving tension through the body. In her words, “we will think about it, feel about it, and then move about it.”
Our conversation is full of beautiful resources including the concept of a “medicine bag.” The medicine bag is like a healing toolkit; when you find a certain practice or image to be supportive, Nandi will say “put that in your medicine bag!” as an invitation to remember this resource and return to it in difficult times.
One of my favorite threads in our chat was about lightening up. Nandi lead a whole season of workshops on the theme of light. One of the questions she asked was, “What is the medicine of lightening up? This lead to a conversation about angels and flight and a beautiful answer emerged from the group: “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.”
