Life, death, cancer, and everything in between.
My mission is to explore true wellness, so that we may all live healthy lives that are vibrant, joyful, meaningful, and full of love and connection.
We live in a society that is increasingly disconnected, isolated, and unwell. Diagnoses run rampant, and despite the proliferation of pharmaceuticals, we all seem to stay unwell. So maybe it’s time we rethink the “treat the symptoms” approach and cut to the core of why we are so unwell and unhappy.
I’ve been writing a lot lately! Head to my Substack, where I explore life, death, cancer and everything in between.
Free subscribers receive my weekly Intentional Inbox mindfulness, intentional living, and health tips-of-the-week, and my first-of-the-month longform. Paid subscribers get that plus Sunday longform pieces and more exciting goodies to come (ahem meditations and special content!).
Start from where you are.
Cancer has shown me that wellness encompasses everything: the people, places, things, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in our lives. Living an intentional life is one where all of those elements align with what truly matters to us.
Learning to be well in a society that almost insists on unwellness is its own kind of revolution. It takes time, courage, and the willingness to be with what is. Everything is an unfolding, and as mindfulness reminds us, we are only ever right here, right now, exactly where we need to be.
If It’s the Last Thing I Do is many things. A space to inspire you to live a full and meaningful life. A resource for navigating end-of-life considerations. A place to explore what it’s like to be the most authentic you. Quite literally, Julia de’Caneva’s legacy, the last thing she might do.
