TMMS | Make it Count

What does it mean to truly take care of yourself—not after the work is done, not once the crisis is over, but as part of how you live? Dr. Michelle Majors sits down with resilience strategist, author, and two-time cancer survivor Savio Clemente for a deeply personal conversation about exhaustion, recovery, leadership, and what happens when life forces you to reconsider the way you’ve been living. Savio shares his experience of facing cancer for a second time, undergoing a life-saving stem cell transplant, and realizing that survival wasn’t simply about getting back to work—it was about learning how to live differently. Together, Michelle and Savio unpack the pressure to produce, the baggage we carry, the difficulty of giving ourselves permission to rest, and the courage it takes to listen to what our bodies and lives are trying to tell us. Ultimately, this is a conversation about making your life count—not by doing more, but by becoming more intentional about what you carry, what you release, and how well you care for the person carrying it all.
