Why Di Foster Talks to Death—and What It Taught Her About Life

Pre-order my new book Habits of High Performers
today and learn the essential principles to thrive in life and
work - www.thehabitbook.com 





Di Foster was told she had 12 months to live. That was 15 years
ago.





In this deeply moving conversation, Di shares how she rejected a
terminal cancer diagnosis, removed herself from the medical
system, and created her own path to radical remission—physically,
emotionally, and spiritually.





But this isn’t a conversation about illness. It’s about
ownership. It’s about what happens when you take full
responsibility for your mind, your health, and your life.





What we cover:


Why Di refused to "suffer" and instead chose joy

The 3 life-saving whispers she heard—and followed

How she reframed trauma, relationships, and self-perception

Why her conversation with death changed everything

How presence, natural healing, and gratitude helped her defy
the odds

Di’s approach to parenting, partnership, and building a
values-driven business






Di is one of the most intentional, joyful, and fiercely real
people I’ve ever had on the show. If you want a masterclass in
emotional mastery, mindset, and living on purpose, this is it.
