Glenn Rockowitz: Laughter, Love, and Living with Cancer

"The idea of changing it and trying to be happy frightens me, because I don't know who I am or where my brain resides."
What happens when a comedian faces a life-altering diagnosis? In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Glenn Rockowitz, known for his work on 'Saturday Night Live' and 'Rodeo in Joliet', shares his deeply personal journey with cancer. Two decades ago, Glenn was told he had only three months to live. This shocking news changed his life forever, pushing him to find humor, love, and connection in the most unexpected places.
Guided by host Paul Gilmartin, Glenn opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of living with cancer and the challenge of asking for help. He discusses how playing hockey gives him a sense of control and how connecting with others has taught him the true meaning of love. Throughout their conversation, Glenn and Paul tackle tough topics like shame and avoidance, offering listeners valuable insights into handling these complex emotions.
Glenn's story is not just about surviving cancer; it's about embracing life one day at a time and finding peace amidst the chaos. If you're looking for a podcast episode that combines raw honesty with inspiration, Glenn Rockowitz's story is a must-listen. You'll walk away with a renewed perspective on love, connection, and the power of laughter in the face of adversity.
