At 44, Sarah McDonald was newly married, newly promoted, and planning pregnancy. It felt like a time of new beginnings in her life when suddenly she was diagnosed with a rare, incurable cancer. Two months later she was diagnosed with another, unrelated cancer. Ten years later, Sarah is healthy, the mother of a beautiful daughter, and the author of a brand-new memoir called The Cancer Channel: One Year, Two Cancers, Three Miracles. In our conversation, Sarah and I talk about her remarkable journey, how leaders can most effectively support their team members when they are going through hard things, the power of perspective, and more.
