Hello Sunshine, in today's episode I speak with Paris Majeks who was diagnosed with secondary brain cancer at 19 and a mystery primary cancer. Paris talks about how she was ignored and dismissed by the medical community for years about her symptoms and saw over 50 doctors to finally find one who listened to her. After experiencing such a life-changing event at such a young age, Paris also opens up about how her cancer impacted the way she was living and how she became driven to live the life of her dreams.

she was the fire.

she was the fire. is a go to guide for every 20,30 or 40-something yr old woman looking for advice and hacks on how to ignite her fire, own her crown, organise her schedule and live her best damn life… whatever that means!But let me introduce myself, I’m Courtney & just before my 30th birthday I thought I had life sorted. I was a successful business owner, driven and fiercely independent - with a Louis Vuitton bag in one hand and pina colada in the other! But then, one day sitting in a doctor’s office, everything came crashing down…Stage 4 Cancer…WTF!In an instant this pragmatic and ‘I’m too busy to meditate’ girl knew she needed to take make a change, so I dived headfirst into becoming my ‘best self’, or whatever Oprah says.she was the fire. is a witty & brutally honest insight into my life, sharing recaps from my self-development wins & fails, my ticking biological clock, my on-again-off-again relationship with diets, my best tips for every aspiring girl boss, oh, and did I mention my TV and beauty addiction? Because I have 100’s of TV show and mascara recommendations for you too!Yes, my world turned upside down and I thought I might break...but instead, I realised, I was the fire and I’m here to help you realise that too. Some women fear the fire, some women simply become it - R.H.ShinNew episodes of my podcast will be coming every Tuesday & I can’t wait to share it with you, so make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss my first episode. Welcome to, she was the fire. xoxo Courtney Mangan
