When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade and Share It

Welcome to Episode 4 of Give Me Lemons 🍋

In this episode, we sit down with Summer Konechny, a stage 4 metastatic osteosarcoma survivor who discovered the healing power of art and creativity during one of her hospital stays. Summer shares her unconventional diagnosis experience, and how open communication with her partner strengthened their relationship throughout her diagnosis and treatment.

We dive into:

• Navigating a diagnosis and treatment with a partner
• The emotional impact of a cancer recurrence and the unknown
• The role public vulnerability plays in connecting with people and healing

This is a story of the power of communication in all its forms. Whether it is with spoken words, writing or art, suffering out-loud can be healing.
