Episode Description
Today, I am thrilled to welcome the all-inspiring David Richman to the podcast.
David did something incredible that can inspire us all. After losing his sister to brain cancer, David has organized a yearly fundraiser in her memory, the most recent being the impetus for his newly released book, Cycle of Lives – 15 People’s Stories, 5,000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of Cancer.
It’s incredible how he pulled it all together in his book, where the stories are interwoven amongst the narrative of David’s solo 5,000-mile bike ride to meet the book participants. He shares some of the interconnected stories of people overcoming trauma. David also shares what motivated him to deeply explore emotional journeys with cancer and the various traumas in their lives that affected their experience.
In this podcast conversation, we talk about his unique fundraiser in his sister’s memory and how to have a difficult conversation after trauma, lessons learned from sibling death, how we can find hope in our challenges, and his newly released book, Cycle of Lives.
David generously donates 100% of the book’s net proceeds to various cancer-related charities picked by the book participants or their survivors. Cancer and other diseases come with so much physical impact. I love seeing how David was able to create a safe space to talk about the challenging emotions that come with it.
It has been my pleasure to have David join me, and I know, my listeners, that you will enjoy the episode.
