Those are words that none of us want to hear, especially not if you have three kids at home. When Meredith Masony heard those words, she initially went into productivity mode - cooking freezer meals for her family, considering creating an online dating profile for her partner - but thankfully the surgery proved that she was cancer-free.

The result of an experience like this for Meredith was that she examined the life that she was living and decided that she wanted to do more. She created That’s Inappropriate, a community built around ensuring that women don’t feel alone in the craziness that can be motherhood, partnership, and general life.

Dalene talks to us about how she and her husband came to sell all their possessions and travel, travel blogging, the media company that they've created, living a life with no regrets, and her recent battle with leukemia. She's in remission, but talks to us about the challenges she's faced and continues to face. It's a vulnerable and courageous interview, and I'm so glad that she has joined us.
