This One day is a podcast for those of us who refuse to sleepwalk through life. Nathalie Brewer is a teacher, mother and artist who has lived for nearly a decade through multiple types of cancer and many brushes with death.

This one day is not about clichés or slogans for living in the present moment. And it's not about cheating death. It's about running full pelt towards life. It's about choosing one action every day that shapes a life worth dying for. Because a good life is nothing more than an accumulation of good days. And we can start today, making this day count in the continuum of our life.

What if death isn’t the opposite of life, but just one degree away? In this deeply personal and spiritual episode, Nathalie Brewer, founder of This One Day, explores her intimate reckoning with mortality after a decade of living with metastatic cancer.

This episode ends with a 5 minute guided mediation to help you cultivate a deep sense of peace and connection by bridging your physical self with your eternal, timeless nature. It’s perfect for easing anxiety around life and death, grounding you in presence, and nurturing your inner wisdom and love, anytime, anywhere.

What if fully living means embracing the pause that life hands you?
In this episode of This One Day, Nathalie Brewer gets real about the struggle of living in the present. Drawing from nearly ten years of living with cancer, she shares her own messy, human journey of trying to show up fully, even when it’s hard, even when she falls back into autopilot or overwhelm.

Nathalie doesn’t have it all figured out; she’s learning as she goes, inviting listeners to walk alongside her as she explores presence, life force, and conscious living. 

This episode closes with a five-minute active meditation, a simple practice to help you feel your body, awaken your inner core, and move a little closer to the vibrant life that’s always waiting in the present moment.

This One Day - Episode 3 - The absence of effort

In this Christmas special of This One Day, host Nathalie Brewer reflects on the idea of “the life we were meant to live,” turning instead toward the one life that is actually here, pulsing through each moment. She shares the story of her latest diagnosis—a dormant tumor in her skull—and how it has become both her teacher and her mirror, waking her daily to the thin veil between life and death.

From there, the episode meanders beautifully into reflections on childhood wonder, belief, and the loss of innocence. Through the metaphor of Santa Claus, Nathalie explores how children naturally believe in something benevolent and unseen—and how adults might rediscover that same presence, not as fantasy, but as life force itself. She speaks about guiding her daughter through learning the “truth” about Santa by revealing a deeper truth: that giving, kindness, and connection are the real magic alive in every human heart.
