Bad News (delivered by a happy little ditty)
I’ve been The Bearer of Bad News for about 10 days now, and it’s the worst job I’ve had by far (& I was a 1-800-FLOWERS gift box outside The Today Show at 5a in December!). But one of the first things that popped into my head when the Bad News was delivered to me was:
How am I gonna tell My People (that’s you)?
So, I figured I’d tell you the best way I knew how: by writing an original song on my ukulele. Obviously.
Now, keep in mind that this is the first full-length song I’ve ever written by myself, and it’s about, oh, Bad News. But I mean everything that’s in it, and hopefully it won’t totally bring the room down.
How’s that for a teaser?
More info to come next week, when I get it – but I promise to give it to ya only in relation to my business. While I’ll still continue to be completely honest in my I Quit My Day Job updates and how this affects When I Grow Up, I’ll be focusing – as usual – on posts having to deal with creative careers. I don’t plan on abandoning my clients, writing, or upcoming launches any time soon!
If you’re looking to get more personal info as to how I’m doing and the possibility of insurance-covered C cups, you can follow me on Twitter or friend me on Facebook. And know that, while I might not be able to respond to every comment/email/tweet/love letter, I’m reading them and getting a super full heart over ‘em. Honestly, being The When I Grow Up Coach is a huge bright spot in this currently-sucktastic time, and the love and support I get from My People (that’s you!) has already brought me to tears on more than once occasion. I’m still the luckiest, most loved, most supported lady in all the land, and really everyone: that’s all that matters.

oh, dear! OH, dear! Grrrrr! I'm very sorry to hear you have boob cancer. You are amazing to write a song about it and share it with all of us. It reminding me that I should have my studio apartment checked too. How did you find out? Sending you love and light and lots of jackrabbit fast healing and bright sunny, worry-free days in 2012! *a
December 5th, 2011 at 1:15 pm
Dear Michelle: You are in my thoughts and prayers. That was the best boob cancer ditty I've ever heard.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:16 pm
I'm so so sorry to hear this, Michelle, but I love your amazing attitude! Praying for you and wishing you health and healing!
December 5th, 2011 at 1:16 pm
Michelle, you inspire me every single day. I already sent you the cheesy you rock stuff via email. Here, I wanted to say, holly poop! That video was amazing. Those few minutes taught me a great deal about resilience, perspective and how amazingly amazing you are. Sending much much love and great great energies.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Well, shit.
Big love to you.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:23 pm
Ohhhh, Michelle. Sending so much love.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Honestly I don't even have the words (so mad at the universe right now!). But I hope you've started writing your "I kicked cancer's ass" song, because I know you're going to need it. Sending SO much love your way.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Sending you lovelovelove and support in your healing, Michelle!! Thank you for sharing with us. You are amazing and recovery is happening right now. oxoxoxo!

December 5th, 2011 at 1:27 pm
hugs! I'm sorry to hear it, but I love that you have a good attitude about it! sending you healthy thoughts!
I have a friend who is a cancer coach and has been there too — check her out here http://whatsnextformylife.com/ She has lots of helpful things to offer!
December 5th, 2011 at 1:27 pm
Sending you lots of love and healing wishes……..guess I don't have to tell you that your attitude makes a huge difference in this type of thing…………..
……….and your song was really cute……..good job for your first full length song you ever written…….love it 
December 5th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Oh……that really was the very worst news I've heard in a long time. That absolutely sucks! Sending you love and prayers for a speedy recovery. xoxoxo
December 5th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Leave it to you to deliver the news in so creatively and to make it, um, sort of fun. I am so sorry to hear the news – my mom is going through breast cancer treatment right now so I am right in the middle of second-hand experiencing what it's like, some of the ups and downs and the stuff in the middle. I am sending prayers your way, and lots of love and look forward to updates.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:31 pm
I am sending YOU a huge, ginormous, bigger than big hug of support while simultaneously dancing in the streamers and confetti that are ALREADY falling in honor of your WELLNESS! I'm sending you light, love, and healing energy (and will continue to do so until your ukelele plays back up to the song "I don't got boob cancer" – sure to be another classic hit, mind you.)
December 5th, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Sending so much love and thoughts and prayers your way! You're terribly brave to be approaching it with such an amazing attitude, please know that we're all supporting you and love you very much, and that you don't have to just be brave all by yourself in this uncertain time! You have given so much to all of us, the least we can do is try to be there for you through the bad news!
December 5th, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Michelle, my dearest friend, I TOLD you an outpouring of love was coming your way! LOOK at all these comments! I know you are going to pull through this with no problemo, and I'm here for you for whatever you need. I'll fly to NYC whenever you need me to.
Lots of love, and this boob cancer doesn't stand a chance in that boob of yours!!!
xoxoxo
December 5th, 2011 at 1:38 pm
ps– DUH, your song was amazing. I think I forgot to say that before because it's so obvious.
You are an inspiration for how to deal with such tough news. xoxo
December 5th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Sending lots of warm & healing thoughts your way.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
Sucks is right. I have been a lurker on this sight but love the work you do. Recently spoke to Women's group about what motivates and drives a person and how to be grateful. You will get through this and will be stronger for it. It is often the things or people that make us angry that drive us to our best selves, just to prove them wrong. So get angry and kick the crap out of cancer. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:44 pm
I love you so much and am here for you in every possible way
. Boob cancer doesn't know who it's messing with. You're going to kick it's butt.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
I'm so sorry to hear this, but sending lots of love and healing vibes your way. I like Maggie's idea of writing the "I kicked cancer's ass" song.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
{HUGS} for you! xo xo
December 5th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
What to say without coming across as anything other than motivating? Hmm… Well your song is a great DECLARATION of how you are going to take on this challenge. Humor, Wit, Honesty…. a sense of telling the boob cancer to 'bite it!'. Now the question remains how you can keep (and hold) that vibe while you go thru this. I know you're not into the hippie dippie stuff but I have two recommendations (just bear with me) – 1. Borrow 'The Secret' from one of your hippy dippy friends and watch it. (there is a part of the movie that addresses what you're going thru. 2. Borrow the movie "You can heal your life" from another hippy dippy friend and watch. *It also addresses the same situation. You're going to need constant reminders that you WILL get thru this, and to use your gifts to help you at this time. These, in my opinion, are two great reminders.
My heart, my sentiment are with you and Luke right now. You're amazing, m'lady. Truly amazing.
Please continue to tell us what you need.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:50 pm
And whatever we can do to make your boob cancer video go viral…. we'll do it. (Asks everyone whose reading this… RIGHT EVERYONE??)
December 5th, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Michelle – you will definitely be in my prayers. Cancer is truly a nasty vampire, eh?
On a side note – I had a dream on Saturday morning in which I told you precisely what all of the grand plans for my business were (which I decided to flip instead of ditch), but when I woke up I could not remember a like of it. So I think this is good news for both of us because I'm pretty sure God is telling that I need to hire you as my career coach in the upcoming 2012 year.
I have a friend whose 27 who just got through treatment for cancer in her legs and my grandmother died prematurely due to brain cancer (after 3 rounds of tumors and a LONG career working it in NYC – a true fighter). All this to say I understand the impact this can have on you and your family. You have a friend in me and if you ever have a break I'd love to meet up for coffee sometime… as long as Manhattan doesn't impolde on us
Hope you have a very restful Hannukkah season and a peaceful New Year…
December 5th, 2011 at 1:53 pm
You are hilarious and I love you. Sending you a ton of love and well wishes!
December 5th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
If your song is an indication, you are going to kick some ass. All the best.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
As much as I appreciated your positive message, and your wish to continue to help others, I hope you will focus on YOU right now first and foremost.I am sending my thoughts and prayers to you.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:58 pm
OH Michelle, while I adored your boob cancer song, I'm so terribly sad to hear your news! Please know that I'm sending you lots of LUV from good ol' Nebraskie
Best wishes to you you ray of sunshine!
December 5th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Oh my goodness, and to think at first I thought this was just a clever way of sharing something career-related.
I'll be thinking of you and I really love the humorous approach you're taking with sharing it by song. XO!!!
December 5th, 2011 at 2:02 pm
*HUGS* Lots of love and prayers going your way.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
Oh Michelle – thinking good healthy thoughts for you. Take care.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Well, of course, tons and tons of cyber love your way — but I also had to tell you that, as inappropriate as it is — I now have your song stuck in my head. I'm walking around my house, singing 'i've got boob cancer…oh, i've got boob cancer'. Yup. And you know what comes next? Kicking Boob Cancer's Ass – The Musical.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Sending you lots of love, positivity and healing thoughts. My prayers are with you and I know you will be okay. I'm amazed by the song and your spirit. You're amazing my friend! Love you xoxo
December 5th, 2011 at 2:08 pm
I do too believe it's going to be ok!
Sing, dance and cry a lot if you need to. It's all very good for your soul.
Sending you good energy and healthy thoughts, Michelle!
December 5th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
I'm so shocked! You are brilliant and courageous and what an inspiring display of grace the way you're announcing this to those who follow your good work. I'll be praying for you so much. Much love to you and your husband xoxo –

oh wow, that is huge bad news! I'm so sorry Michelle!! Sending {{hugs}}.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
What?!!! OMG that sucks. Crazy. Sorry to hear this. I love how you bring your humor and playfulness to help deal with the news, though. One of the many things I adore about you. Sending you lots of love!!!
December 5th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
oh noooo michelle! biggest bummer ever. you're amazing. can't wait till you can add this to the things you've conquered. hugs!!!
December 5th, 2011 at 2:48 pm
Sending you boat-loads of love and good energy! You're going to kick this boob cancer to the curb, I know it. My boobs told me so.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
Oh Michelle, I'm sorry to hear your news and am sending you love, hugs, light, prayers–whatever good mojo will get you through. xoxo
December 5th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
Michelle, don't like your news one bit. Sending you love, good wishes and all the healing energy I can get my hands on! Your positive attitude will make a huge difference in your journey & we're all here for you.
December 5th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
I'm sending you lots and lots and LOTS of love and prayers. This is the first time I've ever heard bad news via a song (a funny, snarky one to boot). You're a star and completely right: boob cancer picked the wrong chick!
xoxo
December 5th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
yes, that IS the most amazing boob cancer song – EVER.
I'm not happy to hear the news, but your song made me laugh… so it's all good. ;P
It sounds like you have a great mindset and going to beat this thing…so I send you all my best wishes. I think you can see that we are all here for you – whenever you need someone to listen to your song, rant, whatever…
December 5th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Michelle,
As goofy & upbeat & fun & cheerful & happy & ass kick-y & positive & keeping it real through humor & awesome as you are, I KNOW you're going to beat boob cancer! Thanks for letting us all in to help share your burden and know there are SO MANY people sending you love, virtual hugs, happy energy, and positive healing, including me!
December 5th, 2011 at 3:40 pm
I'm new here, but wanted to send you a cyber hug and know that I'm sending good thoughts your way. My sister went for her very first mamogarm ever last year and had it. It was her first and final mamogram. She had both breasts removed. She told me she couldn't wait to get her boobs cut off, and practically RAN and jumped on the OR table! She laughs when she tells this story. She was always very um, small.. not any more! She got great new big ones!!!
Kel
December 5th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
You are the most adorable girl in the world!! I'll pray for you and if that doesn't work I'll send you something via USPS to pep you up!
All my love,
Rita
December 5th, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Sending so much love and healing thoughts to you!
December 5th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
You rock my socks off lady – love the song! It warms my heart to see all of the well-wishes and love in the comment section too, you have touched so many people, and I'm so glad to know you. This cancer is messing with the wrong boobs, that's for sure. You know you've got my support, prayers and well-wishes in spades!
December 5th, 2011 at 4:16 pm
Michelle, I watched the video this morning but I was waiting in hopes of finding the right words to say. Of course, I should have known it's not the words that matter, but the thought. And today, I've hardly thought of anything else aside from you.
Last week, my journalism mentor, Susannah Breslin, announced that she had stage 2 breast cancer. Hearing about you just a few days later – the universe just isn't fair! You've cheered me on for a quarter of a year. Now, I want to be your cheerleader while you beat this disease!
December 5th, 2011 at 4:19 pm
I am wishing you the best in this journey.
C cups are awesome.
I am going to think of this as the strange path that the universe put you on because the only way you could become more amazeballs was by having bigger tits.
December 5th, 2011 at 4:39 pm
Michelle you are AMAZING and so cool. Seriously I'm not even worried — it sucks but it's going to be a small bump in the road.
xo
December 5th, 2011 at 4:46 pm
Oh, Michelle! SO MUCH LOVE FOR YOU. So so so so so so much. And the fact that you wrote a ukelele song about it just makes me want to weep at my work desk. I'm sending mega-good juju and vibes your way.
December 5th, 2011 at 4:52 pm
The video is so you. I can't believe it .. Sending you love, hugs, cuddles and prayers .. xXx
December 5th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
i'm so sorry michelle … sending you hugs & the best amaze-ball good wishes to help you kick cancer's ass! xo, c
December 5th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
as you have been here for us, now we are here for you. ♥
December 5th, 2011 at 5:14 pm
Huge huge hugs to you, you are inspiring and amazing. You have a global cheersquad with pom poms raised. xxx
December 5th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
Hi Michelle … don't know if you remember me from TDOY, but I just wanted to say I will be thinking of you … a LOT. and wish I could do more. You're an amazing woman, and that is the BEST song about illness I have ever heard.
December 5th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
That was a kick-boob song! Truly. There's only one person I know who approached his cancer diagnosis with such pluck, and get-on-with-it-and-life attitude and that was my husband (must be almost 10 years ago now). Way to go girl! You will get through this! Lots of positive thoughts coming your way from CA!
December 5th, 2011 at 5:59 pm
Sending positive vibes your way! It's great that you're able to translate anxiety/saddness into a creative outlet. God be with you, I know you'll be able to kick this
December 5th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Thinking about you today and sending more love and healing from the opposite coast. Your song is super amazing and awe-inspiring. You and your boobs are totally going to kick cancer's butt.
December 5th, 2011 at 6:19 pm
Sending you gigantic big hugs + thoughts + prayers + blessings of all denominations (you are so truly stupendous that I am sure you have multiple deities watching out for you) + chicken noodle soup from one irreverant Jewish girl to another (it cures all ills my nana told me & not even cancer dares contradict a yiddish nana). You & your ukelele are bound to kick this shitty boob cancer to the curb-let us know if we can do anything more than hold you in our thoughts! <3 and more love headed your way!
December 5th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
Michelle,
You're so strong I KNOW you're gonna kick cancer's ass!
Big Hug,
Arianna
December 5th, 2011 at 6:44 pm
Sending love, hugs and chocolate koalas from Australia xoxoxoxo Your website, blog and emails have been a barrelful of sunshine for me these past few weeks and I will send you lotsa Aussie sunshine full of bouncing kangaroos and waddling wombats : ) For what it's worth one my aunties kicked boob cancer's dumb ass many years ago and she is doing just fine. You will better then just fine, nothing less than AMAZEBALLS!!! (and don't think you can reneg on our coffee date on my next US trip, by then we'll be having celebratory cocktails yeah!!!) xoxoxoxoxo
December 5th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
<3
December 5th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
Oh Michelle! I am so sorry to hear and I hope you know that ALL of us out here on the Internets are sending you a big fat wet kiss your way (well, and a nice hug too!) And kittens! And puppies! Seriously, my prayers are with you.
December 5th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
I am praying for you dear friend.. u can lick this… u can! xo hugs
December 5th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Huge HUGS to you. What an amazing song – so courageous and as you would say 'amazeballs'! I have no doubt that you will knock the boob cancer right outta your body and it will never again set foot in your tough constitution!!
December 5th, 2011 at 8:03 pm
You send so much love out into the world. I pray it coming rushing back to you to help you through this.
December 5th, 2011 at 8:03 pm
Sending buckets of love your way, Michelle! (((hugs)))
December 5th, 2011 at 8:11 pm
Wow. So sorry to hear that. Lots of mental hugs and warm wishes coming your way.
And, um, is it wrong to say I love this video?
December 5th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
You've been a great inspiration to me and I have no doubt you will kick this cancer and when you do, that will be more than amazeballs!
December 5th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Michelle, that was the most amazeballs boob cancer ditty I've ever heard!
You're so amazing, smart and strong – you've already got this thing beat. Love, hugs and prayers are being sent your way!
December 5th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
Your super-duper-positive attitude will get you through this little blip on the radar. You're an inspiration.
December 5th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
oh girl, what a pain in the boob. I am so sorry! Sending prayers, attention and plenty of good ju ju!
December 5th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
Kick it,fight it and stay full of piss and vinegar girl. your attitude is half the battle. Wage it well, be a warrior and know you are not alone. Look, you've got a total stranger now pulling for your healthy healing song writing talent to flourish. and hey, if you get perky matching Cs think of it as a bonus.
Really best and strongest thoughts through your journey.
December 5th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Hugs & prayers coming your way. LOVE the song. If I'm ever in your position, I hope I have a quarter of your spunk. You rock & you will kick that boob cancer's ass!
December 5th, 2011 at 9:55 pm
I just have to say, that you are one amazing woman to share this news with a full-length rhyming song on the Ukelele. Sending all kinds of love/hope/peace/healing prayers your way. I can't wait to hear the "I kicked cancer's ass song" and until then will cheer you on in the fight!
December 5th, 2011 at 10:23 pm
Hi Michelle. I know you via Jennifer Lee, and I have to say, although the news sucks, I LOVE your delivery method. (Wish I had thought of that when my daughter was diagnosed with autism.) You will be in my thoughts and prayers. And I'm sure, with your great attitude, you will kick cancer's ass–and then write a song about it!
I hope we meet in person on day. Take care of yourself,
Cynthia
December 5th, 2011 at 10:34 pm
Michelle, You are amazeballs! Why not just up and write an amazing, inspirational, and funny song about your experience? You are fearless in the face of fear. Sending lots of love your way.
December 5th, 2011 at 10:41 pm
Michelle, we meet at the Crave event and I'm sorry to hear about your sucky ass cancer. Prayers and good thoughts will be send your way. Did you get them yet?
December 5th, 2011 at 11:14 pm
Michelle, you're amazing! *big hugs* xoxox!!
December 5th, 2011 at 11:25 pm
Prayers, love, and healing to you Michelle! I sooo want your strength, humor, and positivity when I grow up!

December 6th, 2011 at 1:15 am
Aww, Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear it! Definitely sending positive juju, energy, thoughts and prayers!! I'm excited about hearing the "I kicked cancer's ass" song!
December 6th, 2011 at 5:32 am
Wow, that's got to be the best 'I have cancer' announcement ever. I hope the boob cancer lies down and gives up in the face of your fabulousness!
December 6th, 2011 at 9:02 am
Man, this hurts my heart to hear! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this and I hope the process goes smooth and easy. You've got so much love around you – you're totally in great hands
I've already caught myself humming this song and I don't think that's a good thing, so I'll need to stop it. You're on my mind!!
December 6th, 2011 at 10:28 am
Prayers and healing are with you! Love the song, and yes you'll need the sequel. I found you through Liv Lane's ecourse, and have to just reiterate — boob cancer must be running scared, because you have a wellspring of creative folks here to support you! HUGS!
December 6th, 2011 at 11:01 am
Wow, just heard your news + I'm sending you prayers and big love. You are very strong lady + will continue to inspire us all. xoxo Anne

Wow, good for you to express it the way you did. I wish you all the very best and send loving healing. xx
December 6th, 2011 at 7:10 pm
I didn't see this until I just saw something on twitter and your surgery is over. Your song was entertaining in a bittersweet sort of way…and I am thrilled to hear the prognosis is good. I'm sure you still have a bit of a journey ahead of you and my thoughts will be with you! Hugs! ~Lisa
December 6th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
Hi Michelle,
I've never commented before… but just got your video.
Sending lots of good juju and positive energy your way.
Hugs to you,

December 7th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Big love to you, Michelle! Looking forward to hearing your "I kicked cancer's ass" ditty.
December 7th, 2011 at 6:30 pm
Your original song and playing on the ukulele was most uplifting. I love how you were able to "turn lemons into lemonade!" You have an amazing attitude and you are an inspiration to everyone! Love your charming personality! Your beauty shines throughout! You are so right that when you said, "The cancer picked on the wrong person." I seriously believe that you will "kick this thing!"
I am always here for you if you need anything or just want to talk!
December 7th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Loved your original song that you played so nicely on your ukulele! You are an inspiration to everyone! It's most admirable how you were able to "turn lemons into lemonade!
I strongly believe with you can "kick this thing!" I am always here for you if you need anything or just want to chat!
December 7th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
