“When we seek from a place of wholeness, of knowing that I am already a badass, already, I just want to create some more badassery in my life. That's when we grow in a sustainable way. You are not broken. Not one of you in this room. You are not broken. I am not broken. We don't need fixing. We need loving. Isn't that a relief? It feels good to know that. It's a relief you are already enough. So, people ask me how I am today. Here it goes. I am living my crazy sexy big, bright life with cancer. I may not be cured, but I am healthy and I am healing. You know, curing takes place in the physical body. Healing takes place in the spirit. I used to call myself a cancer thrive survivor, but that confused people, including me. Because they thought I went into remission. Now I call myself a cancer thriver.”

“Accepting yourself isn't about giving up or settling, throwing in the towel, no. Accepting yourself is about having your own back and never abandoning yourself. Accepting yourself isn't about amputating your ambition. It's about owning your self-worth. Accepting yourself is about respecting yourself. It's about honoring who you are right now, today, in this moment, not just who you could become somewhere down the line when we create a mythical better version of ourselves. Huh? See, we all want to do better. We want to be better. We want to feel better, and we can. But when we seek from a place of lack or deficiency or feeling like, you know what, I'm just not enough. We create more suffering in our lives”

“You get where I'm coming from here. I don't have sons. I have dogs. My mother is a very big personality, but she isn't Shirley McLean. But it doesn't matter because I'm working myself into a lather, went out of nowhere from the sky, comes hurtling down towards me, this big, bright, fat, yellow, beautiful bumblebee who smacks me on my third eye awakens me to the present, falls to his death, sacrificing his life for my wisdom. So kind. I start to laugh. It's pretty funny. I start to cry. And I think, oh gosh, what if I live a long, beautiful life, a healthy life with cancer? But instead of making rich memories, no, I just think I wish I was somebody else I wish I was a girl who didn't have cancer And that's when I learned the power of unconditional acceptance.”

“But on that particular day, I don't see any of that because I am playing a movie in my mind. And in that movie, I am Deborah Winger in terms of endearment. I am Deborah Winger in terms of endearment, and I'm lying on my hospital bed, I'm dying of cancer, and I'm saying goodbye to my two precious boys, my beautiful sons, and I'm saying goodbye to my mother, Shirley McLean. You know, we've had this very tumultuous relationship. It's been hard to heal the mother-daughter stuff, but we did.”

“So around this time it all culminated in my 10 year cancer versory, which is the anniversary of my diagnosis. And if you remember that second guy, he totally freaked me out. He said, you might only have 10 years to live. So that's playing in my mind. And whenever I'm freaked out, I go to the woods. I go hiking. So I live in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York, and I have these really beautiful trails behind my house. And that's where I figure out all my stuff. I go there when I'm sad. I'm scared. I go there when I'm happy. And I get to see all my friends. All my friends are there. The squirrels, the chipmunks. Hey, Chippy, say hi to your ma for me. The deer, everybody's there. We have a great time.”

“I was still struggling. Deep down, I was struggling with what was going on in my mind. I still wanted to be cured. I wanted to be cured really badly, desperately. And this next piece that I'm going to share with you is very embarrassing for me to tell you. Sometimes people would come up to me and they would thank me. And they would say, your work has made such an impact. Thank you for writing your books. Thank you. Because not only do I feel better, but I got better. And I would be so happy, like genuinely happy, but I was also jealous. Because underneath it all, I felt broken.”

“Drinking, real food, vegetable juice, hydrating your body with water. Soda is not real food. I was shocked to learn that. We're thinking dialing down the stress, how we're resting, sleeping, but also giving our minds mental breaks throughout the course of the day and how we're renewing, moving our bodies through space and time in a way that you love. If you don't love going to the gym, do not go to the gym. Get your dance on. Get your dance on. Have fun. Follow your wonder. Follow your whimsy. So I started to practice these five pillars, and guess what happened? I began to feel better, even with cancer. Okay. And then I start to share what I was doing with other people through my blog and my books. And they started to feel better. Win-win. But I have to be honest with you because this is Super Soul sessions”

“Over time, I started to love Kale. I started to love my vegetables. I started to love cooking. And what? Taking care of myself. I became a student of health, and this is what I learned. Prevention is the best cure. Prevention is the best cure Now, that doesn't mean that there aren't certain diseases that have genetic components, but more often than not, our genes are not our destiny. How we care for ourselves matters. So I developed what I call the five pillars of prevention. And they stem from what we're eating, what we're drinking, what we're thinking, how we're resting and how we're renewing. Eating, real food, back to nature, back to the garden. If it's a made in a lab, it takes a lab to digest. If it has a shelf life longer than you, don't eat that shizzle.”

“Grab the groceries cart, just go down the outside. Anything that's healthy, just put it in there. It looks healthy, get it, get it. That looks healthy. That's good. Get it. Go to the produce. Get it. Get all that produce. I don't know how to make it. I don't like vegetables. I don't know that it's going to taste good. Get it! Good for you. I remember the first time that I saw Kale. I didn't know what was going to kill me first. The cancer or that weed. Now, this is back in 2003, guys. This is long before Kale had a publicist. Has a very powerful Hollywood publicist today. is the cool girl in the produce aisle all the bloggers blogging about kale t-shirts piece and kale bags Tail was not cool back then, no. Kale was just scary. Scary The”

“Back to that watch and wait, watch and live moment. If I couldn't be cured, could I still be healthy? Could I participate in my wellness instead of participating in my illness? Yes, I could. Could I choose love over fear, loving my body and loving my life instead of fearing my body and fearing my life? Now here's the thing about fear. It can be very useful, right? It gets us to the hospital when we're feeling sick. It tells us don't go down that dangerous road. But fear cannot become your fact. Fear can inform you but not define you. Fear can awaken you but not cripple you. So thankfully I've been doing my best every day to keep choosing love. Next stop on the love train Whole Foods Market Whole Paycheck Market”

“But you know what you can do. You know what you can do if you are crazy, sexy, dirty like me. You can get in that garbage and you can dig around. Not that, nope. Dig around until you get that ice cream. And you can pull it out. And you can scoop out the cigarette and scoop out the ash. And you can just keep eating your ice cream. Finally, I figured out how to stop eating all the ice cream. You grab a bottle of Windex and you napalm the crap out of it. I'm not eating that. No, no. We're done. See, I told you I was a heart steaming mess back in the day.”

“You know what you can do. You know what you can do. You can go in the garbage and pull out the ice cream and just dust it off and keep eating your ice cream. Hey friend, we're back on track. How are you doing? You still tasting really good But then I'd have another mindful moment, and I think, dude, dude, dude, doe. Remember, you're not supposed to eat all the ice cream that's not healthy for you? Right, right. So I'd light a cigarette. Light a cigarette, and I'd take a couple of drags. And by the way, back then I wasn't really a smoker because I never bought my own pack. No. You're not a smoker if you don't buy your own pack, right? You're just bumming cigarettes. So take a couple of drags and then I put it out in the ice cream trying to destroy the ice cream. Not going to have you no more. And I throw it out. We're good”

“And because I was constantly dieting and constantly trying to shrink myself, I developed an unhealthy relationship to food. Loved sugar I loved ice cream more specifically. Yeah. Love my ice cream. Ice cream was my friend. Remember they're sitting there eating my ice cream. Every once in a while, I'd have a mindful moment, and I'd think, you know what, you really shouldn't eat all the ice cream because I couldn't do anything in moderation. I didn't need to have all the ice cream every day, a pint of ice cream. You really shouldn't eat all the ice cream. Right, okay. Yeah, I shouldn't do that. Okay. Throw it out. I'm not going to eat that ice cream. No.”

“So again, we're going to watch and wait if you agree, track you, let cancer make the first move. But this is what you are going to do, my dear. You are going to watch and live. You are going to get busy living and you're going to take care of yourself. Watch and wait, watch and live, take care of myself. I didn't know how to do any of that. So BC'd before cancer, okay? Back it up. I was an actress and a photographer and a very talented cocktail waitress. My idea of self care was do whatever you need to do to not look old? Okay? Don't look old. That's self-care. And my diet was based around what to eat to stay slim for my job, not what to eat to nourish my body, nourish my mind, nourish my dreams. And as a result, I was constantly dieting, constantly trying to shrink myself. Am I alone?”

“And he taught me everything about my disease. He said, Here's the thing sometimes it can be slow moving. And that's what we hope you have. Sometimes it can be aggressive. That's what we hope you don't have. Unfortunately, sometimes it can start slow moving and then out of nowhere, become aggressive, like a ticking time bomb. We just don't know. So here's what I think we should do, Chris. I think we should just watch and wait, do nothing, and track you. What no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want cancer in my body. I want this cancer out of my body. I know you do. I know you do. But there's too many tumors. We can't do surgery. And unfortunately, right now, we don't have a cure”

“And that is when I became the CEO of my health, the lady boss. I would hire and I would fire and I would build the best team for my new company, save my ass technologies incorporated. And that team would consist of an oncologist who knew the most about my disease and also had his finger on the pulse of any new research, as well as integrative practitioners who could look at my whole body, not just the cancer, and figure out how to help all of Chris boost all of Chris. Remember when I finally found my oncologist, my second in command.”

“More tests, including full body scan and a biopsy. And that's when I learned that those tumors that started in my liver had spread to both of my lungs. And I was diagnosed with what's known as epithelioid hemangio endothelioma. So many syllables, so little time I mean, it took me forever to say it, let alone spell it, right? So I needed to get an oncologist immediately. Now, the first guy that I spoke to suggested a triple organ transplant, right? I did not know much about medicine at the time, but I knew that that was a very silly idea. I'm like, thank you, but no thank you. I am leaving with what I came with. We are good. We're good here today. The next one kept me waiting two hours and gave me ten years to live. And I thought this guy has a crappy sense of timing”

“Until a holy chisel. Can't swear today Wake up call changed everything. On February 14, 2003, I remember writing in my journal Happy Valentine's Day You Have Cancer, a rare and incurable stage for sarcoma, which is a type of cancer. Now I hadn't been feeling well for a while, but I was only 31 and I didn't take it seriously. But after a bit, it was getting really hard to walk and stand and breathe. So I went to my doctor. I told him what was going on and he said, all right, let's take a look under the hood. Let's do an ultrasound, see what's shaken. Well, that ultrasound revealed that I had tumors all over my liver. And he said that I had so many tumors that my liver looked like Swiss cheese.”

“Crazy is unique, different, the celebration of what makes you different. Sexy is informed, empowered, standing in your power and helping other people do the same. In life, you know this she's our great teacher. And that teacher will give you obstacles and opportunities. And it's how we deal with these obstacles and opportunities that determine our success and our resilience. Living a crazy, sexy life is about living like you really mean it. It's about saying yes and showing up for your life. Now, I teach a lot of ways to do that, but today we're going to focus on two. So taking care of yourself and accepting yourself in all your glory. But before I begin, I want to make something clear. I didn't used to live a crazy sexy life. No, no. In fact, there was a time when I was a steaming hot mess. Steaming like a pile of steaming hot messeness.”

“I'm Oprah Winfrey. Welcome to Super Soul Conversations, the podcast. I believe that one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself is time, taking time to be more fully present. Your journey to become more inspired and connected to the deeper world around us starts right now. Our next speaker put three unexpected words together and then those three words change the way millions of other women and people thought about themselves. Crazy, sexy. She's irreverent and she's aggressive, and she's vulnerable, and she's an absolute game changer. Instead of sitting home and crying, she stood up and she took back her life. Chris Carr is here to teach us how to have a crazy, sexy life. Thank you Thank you so much. Thank you. So I have a question for you. What does it mean to live a crazy, sexy life?”
