I’m Niki and like you I often find myself stuck in survival mode.

I’m an author, speaker and cancer Thriver who’s all about helping you discover that with God, life doesn’t have to be pain-free to be full, then go live it. But I’m also a pastor’s wife, mum, dog lover, fresh air junkie, daughter and friend.

After losing both my mum and sister to cancer, I was diagnosed. My cancer wasn’t lung cancer like theirs, mine was rectal cancer. Yes, I know, can you believe it?

At first I was determined to survive, but after chemo, radiation, surgery and more chemo I found that surviving was all I was doing.

Eventually I learned it’s possible to thrive, not just survive, no matter what life throws at you, and my greatest hope is to help people like you grab the most out of life, right in the midst of all you’re going through.
