Season 2, Bonus Episode: Nikki Bostwick Interviews Host, Lindsay DeLong

Matt Coulter

This week Matt Coulter joins the show to discuss the healing power of giving. Along with Riawna Capri and Nikki Lee, the amazing lady bosses at LA’s Nine Zero One Salon, Matt heads up the BeYOUtiful Foundation. Together they’ve created a community for people of all ages that have defied the odds against cancer. BeYOUtiful’s mission is to make everyone feel beautiful throughout their experience -- and because hair is such a major part of the cancer journey, they’ve connected with top salons and stylists throughout the country to create BeYOUtiful Days -- offering local cancer survivors help with styling, cutting, and wig education -- from diagnosis to remission. Feeling as inspired as we are by this positive tornado of support? If this episode taught us anything, it’s that to make a difference, sometimes you just need to start... and the rest will follow.

Mary Carrillo

Calvin Preston

This episode is one of our most moving to date. (Full warning: it doesn’t have a happy ending. But it does have a mother that exemplifies resilience, compassion, and the true definition of unconditional love.) Mary Carrillo gave birth to her first child, a son named Calvin in 2006. Just six years later, however, she stood by him as he was diagnosed with Leukemia, passing a year later. But that wasn’t the end for Calvin. His mother went on to turn his namesake into the Calvin Preston Foundation aimed at helping other kids who are fighting cancer. Tune in this week to listen to one mother’s story of turning the unthinkable into hopeful as she shares her love and loss... and then love again.

However, as you may have guessed from her Insta handle, Donna is the kind of lady who makes the best of any situation she’s given. A true woman of style, this episode is guaranteed to open your heart wide open and relish in that which makes you feel complete.

Megan Krzmarzick

Cancer. Twice. Two different types. And still not through the woods. It’s a reality most of our brains can’t quite compute. But one this week’s guest, artist Megan Krzmarzick, is currently living and breathing. Megan is an abstract artist, writer, wanderer, and 2x cancer fighter. She is a living reminder of the power of owning your struggles, of transmuting dark into creativity... and then getting back up. She’s been a major inspiration to Cancer, Casually host Lindsay on her own cancer journey and a complete illuminator to all of us here at Team fullest. Take a walk through her colorful garden this week as she shares her mind-blowing, incredibly inspiring journey with breast cancer, leukemia, and yes, even a bone marrow transplant. This woman is a warrior in every sense of the word.

Season 2, Episode 6: Megan Krzmarzick

Shaney Jo Darden

In this episode, we’re out to normalize boobs in the hopes of creating more conversations around breast cancer awareness. But how exactly do you normalize boobs? For Keep A Breast founder, Shaney jo Darden, you turn them into art, create a self-check app, and bring men into the conversation. This episode is a true exercise in busting taboos, cracking open stereotypes, and creating a new container for breast cancer conversation.

Season 2, Episode 5: Keep A Breast’s Shaney jo Darden

Michael Kuech

Kristel de Groot

On this week’s episode, Lindsay brings along her boyfriend, Manny Frausto, to co-host as they chat with Michael Kuech and Kristel DeGroot, the founders of superfood powder brand, Your Super. In an inspiring episode for all men, Michael shares his story of being diagnosed with testicular cancer at the age of 24. It became a life-changing journey that ultimately pushed him towards a powerful path to healing. While on chemo, his girlfriend, Kristel (a self-proclaimed food nut), encouraged him to adopt a healthier approach to eating. The results astounded both of them, and immediately they set to bring their learnings and personal experience to others struggling with health issues. For many years, Michael wasn’t ready to share his story but now he’s in a place to speak about his experience in the hope that his plant-based discoveries can assist others — and we feel lucky to have him on the show!

Season 2, Episode 4: Michael Kuech and Kristel De Groot of Your Super

Season 2, Episode 3: Farzaneh Noori of Yoga House

Valerie Grandury

Lindsay welcomes owner and founder of Odacité, Valerie Grandury to the show. You may be fooled by looking at her, but it wasn’t Valerie’s ability to effortlessly blend Cali-cool with French chic that saw her start up her own clean beauty line… it was breast cancer. Valerie’s healing journey exposed her to the toxins in our beauty regimen. Since then, she’s gone on to beat cancer for over 13 years, and has taken the healing wisdom she’s learned and created a clean beauty line you can truly trust.

Season 2, Episode 2: Valerie Grandury

Cancer, Casually is dedicated to those going through or coming out on the other side of cancer. Each week, The Fullest’s Managing Editor (and survivor) Lindsay DeLong, along with her courageous guests, will help listeners gain a new perspective on the “C word.”

Gail Landau

How do you make cancer feel less heavy? The same way you make everything feel less heavy… with kittens. That’s why it comes as no surprise that Cancer, Casually Season 2’s first guest, Gail Landau, opened Orange Country’s first cat cafe, Catmosphere Laguna after her breast cancer journey. On this episode, Gail shares some of her cancer-fighting wisdom including the importance of listening to your body, self-checks, and not settling for average oncologists. Tune in for an ep that’ll make you feel as warm and fuzzy as this kitten cuddling a duckling.

Season 2, Episode 1: Gail Landau

Sara Weinreb

As the name of our podcast suggests, Sara Weinreb has cancer -- a rare form that not many people know about called Mycosis Fungoides. In March of 2017 Sara was diagnosed with this slow growth lymphoma, and, like many of our guests, took it as an opportunity to change things up for the better. She promptly quit her retail job and began The M List, a daily newsletter that’s kinda like the Skimm but for holistic-ish news. A freelance writer, she’s a truly cool lady that’s whip-smart and totally down to talk the big C. We know you’re gonna love this week’s ep.

Season 1, Episode 9: Sara Weinreb

Ericka Hart

This week we sit down with Ericka Hart, a kinky, poly cancer-warrior, as well as an activist, sexuality educator, and performer. But it’s not Ericka’s impressive bio that leaves us inspired -- rather the powerful use of her voice to represent a silenced majority. If you’re interested in hearing a different cancer perspective than that shown in the mainstream media, or if you're simply looking to feel moved and empowered by a woman who speaks her truth no matter how far it falls outside the ‘cultural norm’ join us as we talk Cancer, Casually.

Season 1, Episode 8: Ericka Hart

Lauren Chiarello

Season 1, Episode 7: Lauren Chiarello

Paige More

This week we sit down with Paige More, a young woman who proves you can move mountains, even ones beginning with C. Paige is a breast cancer previvor and one of the co-founders of the non-profit, The Breasties. But what is a previvor anyway you ask? A previvor is a person with a predisposition to cancer that hasn’t actually had the disease. In Paige’s case, she made a decision to have a preventative double mastectomy after finding out she was a carrier of the BRCA1 gene mutation which drastically increases the risk of getting cancer later in life. This crystallized her path and she knew it was her mission to be of guidance to those who were once in her shoes. If you’re looking for a podcast that’s all about taking charge of life, health, and yes, even tackling cancer with as much grit, kindness, and sisterhood as you can muster, this one's for you.

Season 1, Episode 6: Paige More

Brooke Arthur

Sometimes you need to listen to your body, and sometimes you need to speak up for it. Such is the story for this week’s guest, Brooke Arthur. After being repeatedly dismissed by the medical system, Brooke Arthur demanded doctors do more investigative testing. And it turns out, her feeling that something was wrong, was actually right. Brooke was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2017 and — thanks to her own sensing ability — has now made a full recovery. This week’s episode is one of intuition and inspiration. A powerful and uplifting reminder for all of us, that while there are many incredible practitioners to help us walk the road to recovery, you are your greatest guide.

Season 1, Episode 5: Brooke Arthur

Kara Ladd

Kara Ladd is the founder of the cult ethical lifestyle brand, Boundless, an illustrious writer who regularly contributes to the New York Observer, Harper’s Bazaar, and Women’s Health, and she also had synovial sarcoma and totally kicked its ass. Kara is the kind of person you want around when you have cancer -- that person that’s walked the path, been through the ups and downs only a cancer survivor could understand, and now gleans the tools and wisdom to help others ride the wave.  Some of her pearls of cancer wisdom include thinking of your chemo bag as a “toxic boyfriend” and thanking your cancer for the good things it gave you -- like the ability to trust your gut, follow your spiritual path, and quit that job that isn’t for your highest good.  In this ep, we truly discuss Cancer, Casually and whether you’ve had cancer or not, this week there’s something to learn for everyone.
