In Melbourne Last Week - Talking Thriving After and Destigmatising Cancer with Esther Xu
play

01/19/20 • 37 min

Esther is a gastric lymphoma survivor (or 'thriver' as she likes to be called), who has been cancer free for over three years. She is using her experiences to create video interviews with other thrivers to share cancer stories. Esther also plans on performing public speaking to Chinese and Chinese Australian communities to destigmatise the concept of cancer, which is still considered taboo in that country. We talk about the triggers which made her go to the specialist for a check up, her diagnosis and treatment, the stigma around cancer in China, and how she has made the most of her 'second life' after her treatment and successful remission (or 'reason for mission', also what she prefers to say). It was a pleasure talking to a fellow thriver like her. --- Want to say hello? Get in touch!

Adam and Adam are the hosts of the What You Will Learn podcast. They share the best bits from some of the best books, and interview the world's top authors. We talked in their studio about having the courage to 'step up to the plate', some of the best advice that they have come across in their research for their podcast, and how they have overcome their own adversity. It was a terrific chat and I hope you enjoy it. I'll be having a break over the Christmas week, so Episode 5 of this season will be released on Monday 30th December 2019.

For the Season 2 finale I spoke with 4 people who were involved with the new hit musical to land in Melbourne, 'Come From Away'. This uplifting musical tells the story of the incredible real-life events in the wake of the September 11 tragedy. 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 people from over 100 countries were redirected to Gander, Newfoundland, almost doubling the population of the remote Canadian town. You can buy tickets to the show here. Sue Frost is the founding member of Junkyard Dog Productions who has helped produce 'Come From Away' since it was on Broadway earlier this decade. Derm Flynn was the mayor of the nearby town of Appleton at the time. He hosted six passengers during 9/11 and was fully involved in the relief efforts that followed. Beulah Cooper was the Treasurer of the ladies' auxiliary for the Royal Canadian Legion in Gander. On 9/11, streams of people were welcomed into Cooper's home for showers. She took people shopping for clothes and helped make food. Bonnie Harris was the manager of the animal shelter in Gander and was the first to venture into the holds of the planes to assist those animals on board the planes (including two rare Bonobo apes). - Are you an everyday person who has an interesting passion, project, hobby, organisation or anything else going on? Want to share your story with the world? Or are you a musician or singer who wants a song of theirs played at the end of a future episode? I'm looking for new guests for Season 3, to be released later in 2019. Email me at [email protected] Facebook Twitter Instagram Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
