Today on the podcast we sit down with David Richman. David is the Author of the new book, Cycle of Lives: 15 People's Stories, 5,000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of Cancer. In the book, David explores 15 people’s emotional journeys -- including caregivers, patients, loved ones, and doctors -- and the various traumas in their lives that affected their experience. These stories are interwoven amongst the narrative of David’s solo 5,000-mile bike ride to meet the book participants whom he had been interviewing for a few years. David’s book is inspirational, insightful, and evocative.
On this episode, David shares with us portions of the stories in the Cycle of Lives project. He also shares his passion for inspiring deeper human connection and his own personal journey to this work. We do want to offer a slight trigger warning to anyone who may be sensitive while listening to this episode, since we do discuss various traumas. David’s work further shows that we can all learn and grow from having the courage to share vulnerable stories. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Today on the podcast we have a conversation with Kailey Donewald the founder of "Sacred Serve" a line of plant-powered Gelato. After years of struggling with debilitating allergies and asthma and hearing doctors tell her that she would have to take medicine her entire life, Kailey healed herself through food while living in Indonesia.
Kailey returned home to Chicago and was on a mission to help people heal through food too -- and created Sacred Serve. Sacred Service is a plant-powered gelato that is focused on adding function into the frozen aisle. Kailey wants to remind people that food is here to nourish our bodies. With a base of organic young coconut meat mixed with superfoods, adaptogenic herbs and medicinal mushrooms, a creamy gelato is born and packed with plant-based nutrition -- and it’s super delicious too! We are big fans and really enjoyed hearing about Kailey’s personal journey in wellness, healing through food, and her entrepreneur journey!

Today on the podcast we have a wonderful conversation with Elinor Cleghorn, Author of Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World. This book discusses the history of misdiagnosis and myth in women’s health. Elin’s story began 10 years ago when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after a long period of being told her symptoms were anything from psychosomatic to a possible pregnancy. As Elinor learned to live with her unpredictable disease she turned to history for answers, and found an enraging legacy of suffering, mystification, and misdiagnosis. In her book, Elinor, traces the almost unbelievable history of how medicine has failed women by treating their bodies as alien and other, often to perilous effect.
Elinor has a background in feminist culture and history, and her critical writing has been published in several academic journals, including Screen. After receiving her PhD in humanities and cultural studies in 2012, Elinor worked for three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford on an interdisciplinary arts and medical humanities project. She has given talks and lectures at the British Film Institute, where she has been a regular contributor to the education program and she has appeared on the BBC Radio 4 discussion show: The Forum. She now works as a freelance writer and researcher and lives in Sussex. We have the most incredible conversation on women’s health, advocacy, and Elinor’s own personal journey!
