In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Tom LeNoble, an executive leader, international speaker, and resilience coach who has navigated the halls of Fortune 500 giants like Facebook (Meta), Walmart.com, and Palm. Tom’s life is a masterclass in identity reclamation, moving from the high-stakes world of corporate business suits to the life-altering reality of hospital gowns—and eventually, the freedom of high heels.

Tom shares his incredible journey of surviving two life-threatening illnesses and three separate diagnoses where he was given only six months to live. For years, he kept his health battles a secret out of fear for his career, but today, he is a fierce advocate for embracing the “ridiculous” and sharing our full, vulnerable experiences. We dive into the messy parts of his “Healing Wheel” approach—a transformative mindset that puts the individual at the center of their own recovery and life strategy.

This conversation is your permission slip to stop shrinking in the face of fear or " Brenda," your inner critic. Julie May and Tom LeNoble discuss the gutsy action it took to leave a stable corporate job for a nascent Facebook and the even bigger risk of pursuing alternative treatments when the world told him it was over. You'll walk away inspired by his conviction—“I’m Still Here!”—and ready to take the bold risks necessary for your own reinvention.
