What if a cancer diagnosis wasn’t a death sentence, but a turning point?

In this deeply personal and powerfully hopeful episode, author and speaker Dan Janal returns to The Alignment Show with a story that will change the way you think about illness, resilience, and purpose. Dan shares how a shocking diagnosis, discovered during a routine check-up while feeling perfectly healthy, led him not just into treatment, but into a profound reframing of what it means to live.

Together, we explore:

  • How Dan shifted his mindset from “dying of cancer” to “living with a chronic condition”
  • The life-altering influence of the bookCured and the power of community, purpose, and perspective
  • How he’s using his writing skills to createReframing Cancer, a book of short, actionable essays with reflection questions for anyone facing adversity
  • Why kindness, movement, forgiveness, and reframing your internal narrative are key to not just surviving, but thriving

Dan is candid, inspiring, and—most importantly—real. Whether you’re navigating a diagnosis, supporting someone who is, or simply facing your own “hard thing,” this conversation offers more than encouragement. It offers clarity, tools, and grounded hope.
