Amanda Crowell Itliong | Not Dead Yet

Amanda is a badass human being. Her tagline tells it like it is. #notdeadyet

While you'd be tempted to think this conversation is all about cancer. It is really about how our circumstances define us, and what it really means to be ALIVE. 

At 29 years old, living in San Francisco, with her dream job,  a husband, and travel, she was taken, quite literally, to her knees by the big-bad C-word,  ovarian cancer.  Now, at 41 years old, she has been in and out of remission countless times, and lives with the diagnosis of terminal cancer and weekly treatments to prolong the inevitable.

What makes Amanda so incredible is far-reaching beyond her cancer chronicles, it is how she has chosen to show up.  While we would all like to imagine the person we'd become when shit hits the fan on repeat, Amanda is who I would aspire to be. She is hilarious, joyful, fierce, and has found powerful ways to create a meaningful life. She is an advocate, an activist, a public speaker, a patient advocate and the kind of person who sends you a hand-made card in the mail to say thanks.

I am honored to have spent time with Amanda in conversation, laughter, reflection and mutual respect. I hope you enjoy her energy and learn from her story.

And remember Amanda's sentiment, while cancer in many ways defines and rules her life, her autonomy, her body, it is in no way the totality of who she is. No one thing is the totality of you.
