EP 24 Cancer, Sisterhood, and Celebrating Every Year

Celebrating 67 years of living, our guest, Tami Barber, is a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, a podcast host, and a Stage 3B Ovarian cancer thriver. Since she was first diagnosed in November 2020, Tami has courageously navigated her cancer, undergoing surgery alone during the COVID lockdown, and finding strength in her faith and four trusted Sisterhood friends.In this heartfelt conversation, Tami honestly and openly reveals her struggles of living with cancer, and the essential need for genuine emotional support over toxic positivity from folks who have never had cancer. Fueled by her own experiences, Tami launched the podcast "Cancer: The Emotional Mountain," tackling the multifaceted emotional challenges cancer patients face. And she recently started a new podcast, "Sideline Legends," sharing untold stories of NFL cheerleaders.I especially loved learning how Tami dances with a group of cancer thrivers called the Bionic Babes Dancers of Hope, where the focus is on living a joy-filled life, not their cancer diagnoses.This is a conversation filled with wisdom, humor, and invaluable life lessons … and Tami's experiences remind us all that celebrating each year of life and finding meaningful connections can lead to a thriving, vibrant existence.Sideline Legends Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2315491Cancer: The Emotional Mountain: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2137171Learn more about Bionic Babes Dancers of Hopes here: https://bionicbabesdancersofhope.com/If you found inspiration from this conversation, please rate, review and share this episode.I’d love to hear your thoughts, so be sure to hop on over to Don’t Be Caged By Your Age on LinkedIn or Instagram.
