<description>&lt;p&gt;In this special rebroadcast, we honor the memory of Kelly U’Ren Moody, a devoted advocate and colleague who passed away on January 16, 2026. This conversation, originally recorded in September 2021, captures Kelly’s extraordinary spirit as she navigated a terminal oral cancer diagnosis. After being told in 2016 that she had only four to six months to live, Kelly went on to live a full, impactful life for nearly another decade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kelly’s story is a testament to the power of gratitude and the unfiltered reality of long-term survivorship. She shares how she transitioned from a career in finance to health coaching just as her diagnosis changed her life, and how she chose to&lt;em&gt; "face it head-on"&lt;/em&gt; every single day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;In this Episode:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Navigating the Terminal&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Reality of Side Effects&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Power of Gratitude&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Communicating with Loved Ones&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Transcript: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="https://bit.ly/podscript181"&gt;https://bit.ly/podscript181&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Kelly:&lt;/b&gt; Kelly was the creator of the blog &lt;em&gt;Face It Head On&lt;/em&gt;, where she shared her journey with head and neck cancer to provide hope to others worldwide.
