About this episode

“What does worry do for you?”

Episode #5 of May’s Mental Health Month

It’s heartbreaking to learn that someone you know is battling cancer. But, there is nothing more devastating than finding out that you have it. Things begin to crumble and the future seems bleak. Uncertainties will haunt you and possibilities of the future will only bring sadness, anxiety, and depression. It’s a battle for your life, one that can make you feel like you’re on the losing end.

Today’s guest is Co-CEO & Co-Founder of FabFitFun, Daniel Broukhim. Daniel bravely shares his battle against cancer, how he landed in the ER and later found out about his condition, the inner turmoil he had to go through amidst a flourishing business, and the importance of a good support system that helped him throughout his journey. Now, he is nearing his second year of being cancer-free!
