Summary

Be Thou My Vision This is an episode I have wanted to create for a long time. Maria was a client almost a decade ago, at the time she was dating the man who she would marry, and be with on his journey through cancer, and eventually his passing. This is a story of love, passion and loss. It is a very moving conversation, one that moved me to tears. It is raw. It is direct. It is human, and a necessary listen for us all. Outro music: From my Star - Andrea Bizzotto Here's a little more about Maria: Maria Brandt studied political communication and successfully coordinated projects in the fields of labor market policy and science for many years. In 2016, her husband Andrea was diagnosed with sarcoma, a rare and very aggressive cancer, while Maria was pregnant with their second child. The period of illness and Andrea’s early death profoundly changed Maria and her life. Today, Maria Brandt dedicates herself full-time to the fight against cancer, focusing especially on those with rare cancers. In her inspiring lectures and readings, she shares the impressive story of her family. She talks about the challenges of the disease, the strains of treatment, how she was able to accompany her husband in his final days, and what we can learn from death for life. Maria Brandt has captured her experiences and insights in her book “The Answer is Love.” She is currently working on her next book. Maria lives with her two children, Fynn and Giulia, in Witten, Germany, and travels across Europe for her work. Her lectures and commitment offer hope and support to many affected individuals. Let yourself be inspired by Maria Brandt’s story and discover how love and hope can provide strength in difficult times.
