Summary

Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path.

Viral video producer Briony Benjamin was a few months into a new job when she started feeling not quite right—All. The. Time. Doctors told her she was just stressed and should rest more and learn to meditate. But it turns out she had cancer all through her body.

Turning the camera on herself, Benjamin started documenting her journey in the short video 'You Only Get One Life'. Its raw portrayal of her experience went viral, touching millions.

Briony shares some of the important lessons learnt through her illness and recovery—everything from how to assemble your A Team in times of crisis to learning happy hacks for cutting yourself some slack and some great tips on being a good supportive human when a friend is going through the rough stuff.
