    Having glioblastoma doesn't mean life is over. In fact, it can be viewed as an opportunity! Tara McCaughan from Northern Ireland has been living with gbm for nearly five years.

    Her story shows us how human resilience and internal cognitive reshuffling can be our biggest weapon in battling such a formidable disease. But she doesn't do it alone, her partner Stephen is her rock.

    We need stories like hers! I sit down with Tara and Stephen to learn how she realigned her life after her diagnosis, and what motivates her today to see the beauty in her disease.

    There are so many facets of the grief and loss journey. One that many don't think of is financial understanding.

    Whether it's starting a non-profit organization after a loss or trying to navigate investing from money left to you after a death, it's vital to know how to advocate for your own best interests. Self advocating is important in in all areas of life, not just in caregiving or physical health.

    Today, I sit down with Frank Randall and Dan Schlein of Alliance Advisory Group to discuss the who, what, where, when, and why of financial advising and important questions people should be asking when meeting with a financial advisor.

    Grief is something that crashes into us. It takes a toll on us emotionally and physically. But when it does, it also teaches us. We grow from our journeys in life--the good and the bad.

    Emily Peterson, CEO of Saranoni Luxury Blankets, knows this journey all to well.

    Emily's husband Nathan was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer just 3 months after launching their Saranoni Cares initiative for cancer patients, including brain cancer. Nathan, just in his early 50's, only had two months before the cancer took his life.

    With six kids to care for, Emily hardly had any time to grieve. Hear her story only on Game ON Glio! Listen now.
