This conversation reframes cancer not only as crisis but also as catalyst: many survivors emerge more willing to take risks, change careers or re-prioritise life. Caitlin reflects on her own transition from policy and academia into coaching after her diagnosis and describes coaching’s power to help clients mourn losses, name new values, and make pragmatic decisions, whether scaling back hours, starting new projects, or crafting a legacy. The episode also calls out gaps in workplace empathy and legal understanding, urging employers to train managers and build inclusive policies. Listeners will find hope, practical signposts, and actionable tools to navigate change with dignity and resilience.
