Facing Lymphoma + Appreciating Every Day with Makayla Wilson

Published: March 19, 2021, 9 a.m.

Makayla Wilson was diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma back in 2017 and in today's conversation she shares with us what her fight has looked like. This is a tender, muddy, profound share and Makayla was so gracious with her time and presence.

She talks about her frequent trips to Mexico for treatment. She talks about family life and about what the conversation around her health has been like when talking with her young children. She shares candidly about the physical and emotion toll cancer has had on her and also shares what keeps her staying strong everyday.

This episode is for anyone needing a shift in life perspective and an adjustment from chasing to presence. Makayla's story is inspirational, powerful, and deeply moving and I can't wait for you to get to know more about her and her life.
