Twice Surviving Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Finding Purpose, Potential, and Clarity After Crisis with Savio P. Clemente
What happens when life gives you a second chance—and then a third?
In this episode, I sit down with author, TEDx speaker, journalist, executive wellness coach, and two-time cancer survivor Savio P. Clemente.
After being diagnosed with Stage 3 Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2014, Savio endured chemotherapy and fought his way into remission. Ten years later, after delivering a TEDx talk, covering the Oscars, and returning from India, cancer returned.
Together, we explore what happens after a life-altering crisis, including:
Surviving cancer twice and navigating relapse
The emotional challenge of rebuilding after trauma
Why fulfilling your potential matters more than chasing achievement
The connection between purpose, identity, and resilience
Self-compassion, self-care, and personal reinvention
The ALOHA framework for creating clarity and change
Why surrender is not giving up—it's opening yourself to what's next
This conversation is for anyone questioning their path, feeling stuck, facing adversity, or wondering if it's too late to reinvent themselves.
