About this listen

Meet Cynthia. She is a close family friend of mine. Through her teens and 20s, she had a pretty normal life and always added a touch of realism to her perspective on things. In her 20s, she met her now husband and they were building a life together. In her 30s, while they were planning their dream destination wedding, Cynthia received a diagnosis that changed everything, including her timeline for marriage and motherhood. In this episode, we talk about:

  • How her upbringing and realist point of view shaped her thoughts on marriage and motherhood
  • She tells the story of how she met her now husband post-college, and we both share our engagement stories
  • The shocking diagnosis in her 30s that forced her to cancel her dream destination wedding
  • Learning how to lean on others for help while going through treatment
  • After the diagnosis, making the very quick decision to opt for IVF treatments
  • Figuring out how to live life as a person in remission and her new perspectives on life
  • Looking toward her future and pursuing it with intensity and intention
