I sit down to write today with results from MRI scans of my liver and two black eyes. No, the two things aren’t related, but it sure made for an interesting opening. Am I right?

In episode 6 of the podcast I’ve decided to talk about something I could never have predicted when I started this podcast, something personal and—not gonna lie—a little scary. Mostly because I’m still in the middle of it. There’s no fairy tale ending. But I’m optimistic.

So let’s back up. Last fall my cardiologist ordered a routine heart CT scan which showed a perfectly functioning heart AND some unwanted cysts on my liver. My doctor assured me that the cysts were most likely hereditary and harmless, but she ordered an MRI to confirm. 

Spoiler alert: The results from the MRI weren’t what I would have hoped for. So I share with you the current status of the medical diagnosis as well, the current status of the conversations in my brain, and what I’m learning about myself during this surprising little detour. 

So catch the podcast episode here. It’s entertaining as hell. I promise.

Me, 4 days post op
