Hear candid conversations between people conquering cancer — patients, their family and friends, and doctors and researchers working to help us all.
Leveraging the power of humor in the face of difficulty, Caitlin quickly amassed an audience of more than 1.5 million followers on Instagram. Today, with Calum in remission, Caitlin uses her platform to advocate for numerous topics, including motherhood, gratitude, cancer research, and navigating the unknown.
“It was so therapeutic for me to share how I was feeling at that time,” Caitlin recalls. “And I was able to do it in a very characteristic way of me, which was honest, but also with humor. I think there was something inside of me, in a way that I was like, ‘I don't want anyone assuming how I feel about all of this, so I'm going to put it out there.’”
Today, Calum is living a healthy life. Meanwhile, Caitlin has learned that maintaining a sense of humor through difficult times can be a powerful medicine. When Caitlin launched Big Time Adulting, she had no idea it would grow into a globally recognized multimedia outlet on several platforms, including TikTok and Instagram. In this Your Stories episode, Caitlin shares a renewed appreciation for laughing at the absurd, as well as the lifesaving impact of cancer research.
