Fri Feb 06 2026
Dr. Robin Hall is a board-certified family physician with over 30 years of experience, trailblazing concierge medicine pioneer, keynote speaker, and author of The Other Side of Illness: Unexpected Blessings.
Dr. Hall shares her extraordinary journey from being the doctor caring for thousands of patients, to becoming the caregiver for her husband during his stage-four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis (a battle he miraculously won against all odds), and then facing her own breast cancer diagnosis just a few years later. Through these life-altering seasons, she discovered profound lessons in resilience, advocacy, mindset, and the unexpected gifts that can emerge from hardship.
She shares practical, compassionate advice for anyone navigating serious illness, whether as a patient, caregiver, or loved one, including:
Why taking a deep breath and advocating fiercely for yourself or your loved one can change everythingThe critical importance of self-care to avoid burnout and isolationHow to handle well-meaning but unhelpful advice from othersPowerful daily practices like gratitude journaling, setting intentions, and surrendering control to find peace amid chaosThe transformative power of feeling truly seen and heard by healthcare providersFinding hope and purpose even in the darkest moments, including end-of-life care and griefThis conversation is raw, vulnerable, yet full of hope. It's perfect for caregivers, cancer survivors, anyone facing health challenges, or simply those who want tools to thrive through life's toughest seasons.
Dr. Hall reminds us that we're often stronger than we know, and that blessings can hide on the other side of illness.
Remember: You got this.
