Conquering Food Fears as a Cancer Patient

In this heartfelt (and hilariously off-track) episode, Carrie is joined once again by her husband, Gavin, for an honest conversation about marriage, recovery, and the wild ride of caregiving—especially when your spouse has ADD. Despite Gavin’s best attempts to derail the story with his signature tangents, Carrie keeps steering them back to one powerful moment: the day he faced his fear of eating. To start that journey, a speech therapist started him with a little container of applesauce. After surviving head and neck cancer and life with a feeding tube, food became a source of real fear and pain for Gavin. Together, they unpack what it took for him to face that fear—and what it was like for Carrie to witness that breakthrough as his partner and caregiver. It’s funny, raw, and deeply human—just like healing itself. #add #marriagecouple #cancertreatment #cancerrecovery #headandneckcancer #caregiving #caregivertips #lovestory #mentalhealth #burnout #burnoutrecovery
