SEASON 2 Ep. 3: “Tell People You Love Them & Live Life” with Guest Ian Youngblood

SEASON 2 Ep 3: “Tell People You Love Them & Live Life”-with Guest Ian Youngblood.

 

            Being a front-line worker at the start of the Coronavirus pandemic is hard enough, what happens when you go from front-line work to patient?

That’s exactly what happened to 29 year-old nurse Ian Youngblood. In the heart of a Coronavirus outbreak and away from his home in Arizona, Ian found himself on the other side of the “bed” after suffering from coordination issues, memory issues, and throwing up that quickly landed him in a NYC ER.

Brain surgery in New York and a trip back home led Ian to a diagnosis of grade 3 Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma–brain cancer.

Three years into his journey and Ian sits down with us to discuss the significance of that day. Ian also reflects on how it has changed his perspective on life and his philosophy on being in the present moment.
