EP 305 – Women’s Empowerment & Cancer with Viki Zarkin

In this episode, Dr. Taz is joined by Viki Zarkin as she shares her cancer battle journey and how she conquered it. Viki Zarkin is the only person alive with this aggressive form of Stage 4 metastatic cancer for over 11 years. She was diagnosed in her 40s when her doctor first told her to go home and get her affairs in order. At the time, she had two small children at home and was running her husband’s dental practice. Viki spent the next several years fighting for her life, advocating for herself, navigating the healthcare world, and following her gut. Now, Viki is a beacon of hope as a national motivational speaker, coach, and author of I Am the One. She inspires women to change how we have been programmed to think and emphasizes the importance of starting with young women on believing in themselves, challenging the status quo, finding their voices, and listening to their hearts. Viki’s can-do attitude inspires people to think differently in their everyday lives; by applying her unique thought process, deals can be made in a boardroom just as easily as they can help people through their cancer battle.

Welcome to your wellness home…

Starting out on your personal growth journey is filled with ups and downs. It seems like everyone around you is still preaching impractical ‘self-care’ advice that no one actually follows.

It’s no wonder you feel like you’re stuck, while at the same time jumping from one shiny thing to another and never really feeling satisfied.

But I’m here to remind you that having the right support can change your life.

I designed this Circle to be your wellness home to support each other as we put healing methods to work. This is where we meet you where you are on the journey to the best version of you. Inside, we focus on personal growth, wellness, and understanding yourself in the deepest ways.

This Circle is where desires meet actions. We are a community that supports one another to experience better, healthier, happier lives.

Each month, we share enlightening workshops and insightful wisdom from myself, and experts in their field. We set goals together, and make this wisdom actionable in your life—no longer will you be a passive participant in your journey. If you have dreams you’re chasing—this community is for you.
