68 - Thirteen Years Ago Erika McDonald had Two Months to Live

Meet Erika McDonald - wife, mom, entrepreneur, athlete manager, survivor, survivor, survivor. In this episode, Erika mentions that she has had to face her own mortality. That is an understatement. Erika was first diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 21 and told she had two months to live. What unfolded has been over a decade of loss, grief, mourning and every time, resurrection stronger than before. This is a very deep, intense, emotional interview. I had trouble holding it together myself. If you plan to listen during a short run or high intensity intervals, you may want to think again as it's difficult not to get swept up in Erika's story and feel her journey yourself.
