Why Hope Matters: A Round Table Discussion

At some point we've most likely either thought it or said it: “I give up. I just can't do this anymore.” But, for most of us, we've somehow pinpointed a little glimpse of relief or felt a tug from somewhere within that propelled us to keep going, keep searching, and keep focused on what “can be” instead of what currently “is.” That would be because inside each of us is hope. And, it's because Hope Matters. My guests on today's show, Maryann Makekau Founder of Hope Matters and Rob Harris, Founder of Rob Cares, join me to discuss how even in life's the most difficult journeys, maintaining a spirit of hope can positively alter the outcome of your direction. Both guest speakers at the upcoming National Womens Survivors Convention , where they will discuss the psycho-social aspects of cancer: including the physical, mental, social, and financial fall-out of cancer. Included in the discussion is why attention to these problems are an integral part of good-quality care and long-term improved mental health.
