This show welcomes Alex Kinnear Mellor, author of Cancer Works, balancing your career with not dying, published in 2024.

Alex wrote this insightful and inspirational memoir, having survived cancer, choosing to keep her job as Global Head of Communications, working all the way through. Alex is joined by her then right-hand lady, Tegan, who shares what it was like to work with Alex during this brutal time, her tenacity, her changing appearance, and her efforts to promote curiosity in the workplace about cancer.

Alex shares how, as a family, they approached her illness, the importance of therapy and protecting her young son whilst being as honest as possible.

Show host Kerrie Dorman chats with her two siblings, exploring the root cause of their close relationship, the death of their mum at the age of 51, and the effect that had on them. Slightly strange film fetishes make the agenda too! Light-hearted until discussing the impact of the book Stand Up had on them.
