About this listen

Amanda's mantra as she was entering brain surgery really stuck with Cody after last week's interview: "Stay awake. Stay alert. This is my life."

In this week's episode, Cody reflects on presence versus resignation, invoking Eckhart Tolle’s teaching and examining how often we try to merely get through life instead of fully living it. Amanda’s courage and focus become a model for noticing the present moment.

An update on Amanda closes out this reflection. She's had another scan and this time her scanxiety proved correct. There were signs of progression and she is now facing the potential of another craniotomy. We'll give more updates as we have them, and hopefully talk with Amanda again about where she is now in her journey.
