Cancer

Here's one of what we used to look like. One on the right is BCAN Columbus 2024.

If depression feels like a mountain too high to climb… start with one step. Just one.

That’s all you need right now.

Not a perfect plan. Not a complete transformation.

Just the first step forward.

Depression wants you to believe there’s no way out.

But that lie only wins if you never take action.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.

✨ Start your healing today—with one small move.

Maybe it’s this video. Maybe it’s a walk. A journal entry. A deep breath. A call.

Whatever it is… take that step.

What’s one small thing that’s helped you in your mental health journey? Let’s build a list of ideas to support each other 👇

📌 Save this post for the days you feel stuck.

Somehow I became a public speaker. I would have never dreamed I would pick such a career. I do virtual and live, panels, q&a. I survived cancer, so what do I have to be afraid of?

I'm Danny, that's my wife Stephanie. I'm 49 and live in Dayton, Ohio. I was diagnosed with Intermediate risk non muscle invasive bladder cancer in 2023 and it changed my life. "Cancer is a great motivator" became my slogan, and I proceeded to totally change my life. My wife an I have lost over 200 pounds together, and are totally different people mentally and physically than we have ever been. We reignited our 28 year marriage and are living life approaching age 50. I changed my career, I am currently a professional cancer advocate/influencer and social media content creator on the subject. I collaborate closely with organizations such as BCAN, The Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, regarding patient and caregiver relations, education, and the spreading of relevant and useful information about cancer. I regularly organize community and maintain social networking groups across the web. I took the potential karmic energy of cancer and chose to make it positive! Please feel free to message me anytime for anything! #BladderCancer #Cancers

You don't need to be fixed, you need to be held by your own attention. When life feels overwhelming, ask yourself: Have I been abandoning myself in the name of busyness, people-pleasing, or perfectionism? Try this today: take 5 minutes to check in with your body, your breath, and your emotions—without judgment. Say to yourself, “I’m here.” Healing doesn’t always begin with action; sometimes it starts with simply returning home to your own presence.

What’s one gentle thing you can do for yourself today? Write it below so others can be inspired too.
