About this listen

Between diagnosis and treatment, Emily shares the deeply human moments that define life after brain cancer surgery — from learning to cook again and caring for her children, to confronting fear and loss. In this episode, Emily talks about her diagnosis of astrocytoma, her relationship with her care team, and finding courage to embrace change — even shaving her head on her own terms.

With honesty and warmth, Emily and Gab unpack the emotional ups and downs that come with survival, resilience, and rediscovering what really matters.

Heads Up with Em is produced in partnership with The Brain Cancer Group.
