Episode Description

What would you do with your life if you knew you had a sooner-rather-than-later expiration date? How would facing that finality alter the direction of your life? Or would it at all? Gwen Rich knows she has limited time on the planet due to her breast cancer diagnosis and is doing anything but complaining about it. She’s living life large, out to make the biggest impact she can on others with her time left, and savoring every moment. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we all lived like this and worked on purpose to leave a legacy, even without a terminal diagnosis prompting our urgency?
