Description
July of 2024 marked the month our world was shattered. Our hero (dad) was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a grade IV brain cancer.
Our therapists told us to write down our feelings, but we got bored of that, so now we've decided to live out loud. Tune in (or don't) as we talk about life, death, family, love, things that matter and things that don't, all while constantly trying to find the funny moments in our struggle to play the hand we've been dealt.
At its best, we hope this helps someone else who's hurting; at its worst, at least it's helping us.

A quick little post-holiday pod about the gravity of the holidays and how time together is our favorite thing, but it also comes with a lot of heavy feelings.
In this un-editided episode, we dig deeper into the notion of coping: how coping is defined and categorized, what coping looks like for us at this stage, and how effective (or ineffective) our various mechanisms have been.
Our patriarch, main character, and specialist guest makes his season 2 debut. Tune in for a bit of our dad's candid pov on the summer, current status, and making the most of everything we've got.
Kicking off another season of Not Us with summer updates, stable scans (!), and more of your regular scheduled yapping. We took a hiatus, but realized we missed having these conversations with ourselves and sharing them with all of you. We're happy to be back, and as always, appreciate the outpouring of support.
A few things have changed since we recorded this, and we'll be back with a new update in our next episode, but this episode gives you another glance into the life of our mom, the primary care giver. Where the three of us get to "escape" to a version of regular life when we leave Boston, our mom is living this experience real time, every day. We are so in awe of her and always love to hear her perspective on everything from being an advocate, to being a partner, to being the world's greatest mom.
