What if the illness you fear most isn’t the real disease?
In this episode of Things Your Mother Never Told You, I sit down with Anita Moorjani, who was once given just hours to live. In 2006, Anita fell into a coma from end-stage lymphoma—her organs shutting down, her family was told to say goodbye.
But in the space between life and death, she discovered a profound truth: fear is the lie, and self-abandonment is the real disease.
Anita returned to her body with a mission—and a message that would save her life:
You are not here to be small, sick, or silent.
In this conversation, we explore:
-
How a lifetime of fear and self-betrayal manifested as terminal cancer
-
The near-death experience that awakened her to her true power
-
Why self-love isn’t selfish—it’s life-saving
-
How women can reclaim their worth, voice, and vitality
This is not just a story about healing.
This conversation is a call to remember who you truly are and to live fearlessly—because your life depends on it.
If something inside you stirred, share this with a woman who’s ready to stop apologizing and start remembering who she is.
