In this first episode of Heads Up with Em, I introduce my story as a young mum diagnosed with brain cancer at 30. Joined by my best friend Gabrielle, I reflect on the shock of diagnosis, the challenges of pregnancy and early motherhood, and the power of support from family, friends, and community. Together, we discuss both the hard and the hopeful, to remind others that life after diagnosis is still filled with joy, love, and possibility.

🎙️ Introducing: Heads Up With Em

I wanted to create something that I wish I could have listened to when I was first diagnosed, something I wish a friend could have used as a tool for both of us to feel calmer, reassured, and heard. I know it’s something my best friend, Gab would have been so excited to send me. So, her and I are ready to shine a light on the journey so many silently navigate.

💜 First episode coming soon.
