'Even as a little girl I would try to find a glimmer – something that was really positive that day!'

Flamboyant and infectiously positive, Sooz has always tried to find a “glimmer” in every day since she was a little girl.  Not even a stage 4 bowel cancer diagnosis has extinguished her bubbly personality. That doesn’t mean there are not moments that are hard, but as she explains, she chooses to view everything with a positive filter.

Sooz talks about how (despite being health literate) she was shocked by her diagnosis. 'I just put my stomach pains down to gastro as a result of a recent trip to France, where I consumed good rose and French cheese', and how you must advocate for your own health.

Sooz also chats about the importance of community and how her tribe, 'Soozies Floozies' have helped her navigate her cancer treatment.

Bold in everything she does, Sooz is a breath of fresh air and this chat is a must listen.
