episode 94 : the warrior within

We welcomed a very special guest, a runner, triathlete, coach and cancer survivor Tammi Lim to the red seats this week.

Since October is breast cancer awareness month, we sat down with Tammi to hear her story of grace, resilience and strength as she tackled the toughest race of her life: beating cancer.

As a seasoned triathlete and distance runner, Tammi has accomplished it all, podiumed at races from Ironman, 70.3, ultramarathons, marathons. half marathons... you name it, she's done it. But at a routine health screening in 2019 her world was turned upside down as she was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer called ET, short for essential thrombocythemia.

Treatable but not curable, Tammi took it in her stride and continued to go strength the strength athletic journey and continuing to build her own brand of personal training and coaching all the while competing at a very high level, hitting PBs at events such at T100 Singapore, marathons and half marathons around the region until lightning struck again with a diagnosis of breast cancer in 2025.

Having cancer twice before you've even turned 40 would break anyone, but instead of letting it define her, Tammi as tackled it so gracefully with a quiet strength and no nonsense attitude, tackling it as she would have any other major race that she prepared for in the past with strength, faith and conviction.

Listen to Tamm's stories about her athletic journey as a skinny unfit kid, to blossoming into a triathlete in her university days, how she found out she had cancer and how it has changed her perspective on life and priorities.

why did she start triathlon? what are her favourite races? why did she give up the corporate world to become a personal trainer & coach? where there any symptoms that she had cancer? did she even suspect anything before the first diagnosis? how has it change her? the importance of routine health screenings.... we discuss it all!
