Jannine Gearon's Calling During Late Stage Cancer

Trigger Warning - Facing terminal illness with love, heart and so much generosity,  I not only have the great privilege of supporting Jannine through coaching, but she decided to speak with me here for the second time on this podcast to share her deeply personal decision to explore voluntary assisted dying (VAD).  

 

Jannine is in the late stages of cancer and on this episode shares her personal journey and reasons for advocating for VAD. The conversation delves into the eligibility requirements, the multi-step process, and the emotional and psychological impacts of choosing VAD. Janine reminds us what is truly important and how she is choosing to live life fully despite her condition. 

 

Jannine, thank you for your heart, for your generosity and for following through on the calling you have to raise awareness and provide information and support for those considering VAD.  I feel truly honoured to share the time we have together.
