401: The GIFT of Cancer with Maria Kang

Ever feel like life throws you curveballs just when you think you’ve got it all figured out?In this episode of Midlife Conversations, I sit down with Maria Kang, a total fitness icon, who’s sharing her journey through something she never expected—a stage four cancer diagnosis. Maria’s story is a powerful one. She’s spent her life dedicated to health and fitness, but all of that was flipped upside down. We dive into how she handled it, the struggles she’s faced before (including her battle with an eating disorder), and how her mom’s health issues pushed her to a new level of self-awareness. Maria also opens up about her spiritual awakening—letting go of emotional trauma, finding self-love, and even using meditation and plant medicine to heal. We’re talking about everything from leaning into adversity, connecting with your inner child, and leaning on your community for healing. It’s real, raw, and something you’ve got to hear. Are you ready to turn life’s biggest challenges into your biggest transformations?  Learn more about Maria Kang at: Maria Kang's Instagram: www.instagram.com/mariakangfitness  Maria Kang's Website: www.mariakang.com  Watch this episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/NatalieJillYouTube   Want to listen in on a LIVE recording of Midlife Conversations?
