Briony: Circus Tiger Rescue, Stage Four Plot Twist and Finding The Joy

Briony is the main event on the podcast this week and the joy is apparent. But because life loves a plot twist, there are also some truly awful bits.From growing up in a vet practice where her Dad was basically a superhero (including rescuing a literal Bengal tiger at 2am).To over-annunciating her words wherever possible, because proper diction is important. She landed her dream job and produced viral videos clocking millions of views for a living (what a flex).Then Briony got the worst news imaginable and had to endure a cancer diagnosis that no one was prepared for. Spoiler alert, she survives.But the “after” hits hard too: chronic fatigue that feels like it will never lift. Until she finds a life-altering process that sounds too good to be true and somehow gives her life (and joy) back.There’s more here than we can tell you in a few sentences, so press play because we’ve Gotta Go.—CHAPTER MARKERS:00:00 Introduction03:18 Snake in the Car04:37 Circus Tiger Callout07:52 Gap Year and Uni Pivot08:59 Climate Stories on Film10:45 Sydney Work Burnout12:16 Domestic Violence Doc15:51 Mamamia Breakthrough19:10 Symptoms and Diagnosis22:21 Stage Four Diagnosis22:57 Denial And Next Steps28:25 Remission And New Perspective31:15 Chronic Fatigue After Cancer34:54 Lightning Process Breakthrough38:08 Meeting Byron And Love40:43 Purpose Climate And Gratitude------Supported by Solutions for Climate AustraliaLINKSGap Year: https://youtu.be/eKFjWR7X5dU?si=DulKlJzciUxRgsP9Briony’s Video Reel: https://brionybenjamin.com/videos/Big Bad Love - DocumentaryHeels No HeelsIf A Man Lived Like A Woman For A DaySexiest Man In The WorldThe Lightning Process: https://lightningprocess.com/Dr Phil Parker: https://www.youtube.com/@DrPhilParkerBriony’s BookLife is Tough But So Are You:https://brionybenjamin.com/book/Leukamia Foundation: https://www.leukaemia.org.au/Join us:Instagram: @gotta.go.podTikTok: @gotta.go.podFacebook: TBC!YouTube: (for pod platform only) @gotta.go.podcast
