So I Married a Magician: Help Launch This Hilarious & Heartfelt Memoir of Magic, Mayhem & Mishaps

If you’ve heard me speak or read one of my previous books, you know I love sharing true stories that inspire people with hope and positivity.

Today, I’m inviting you into a new kind of adventure—one that’s a little more theatrical, a little more light-hearted, and a lot more magical.

ANNOUNCING...My new book is in the works!

It’s called So I Married a Magician: A Hilarious and Heartfelt Memoir of Magic, Mayhem, and Mishaps 

It’s the true story of life behind the curtains with Comedy Magician Elliott Smith—my husband, creative partner, and co-conspirator in the magic of life. Some of you may even know him or seen him perform.

In a world that can feel dark and overwhelming these days, this fun-filled memoir is my way of bringing light, love, and laughter to the world — and joy back into our hearts and conversations. As a cancer survivor turned author, speaker, and coach, I’m honored to share this story with you.

I’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign to help bring this book to life, and I’d be honored if you’d take a look, share it, or support it in any way that feels right.

I first launched this campaign quietly with close family and friends, and now I’m expanding it to include you—my wider circle of readers, supporters, and kindred spirits. To those who’ve already supported the campaign, I thank you whole-heartedly for being among the first to support my mission to bring light, love and laughter to the world!

Your support helps me share this story faster — and reach those who need its light the most.

From Surviving to Thriving: Celebrating 30 Years Cancer-Free with a Gift for Women Survivors

October 17, 2025 marks a powerful personal milestone: 30 years cancer-free since completing my final chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Diagnosed at 29 with a tumor in my neck, I endured nine months of grueling treatment and the emotional upheaval that followed.

It all started with a persistent pain and swelling in my neck that just wouldn’t go away. I knew something was wrong. An ultrasound revealed a tumor, and during the biopsy surgery to remove it, they discovered it was much larger and deeper than expected — so deep, in fact, that it was dangerously pressing against the main artery to my brain.

I still remember the following weeks of anxiously waiting on pins and needles for the results of the biopsy. And then the day came when the surgeon said to me three of the scariest words to come out of a doctor’s mouth — “You have cancer”. 

The fear and shock was immediate and overwhelming. What followed was months of physical pain and discomfort from the chemotherapy treatment with all its nasty side effects. But the hardest part wasn’t just the treatments — it was the emotional upheaval that came after.

People often talk about “getting back to normal,” but for cancer survivors, it’s not that simple. There’s no going back — only forward. 

It's not about getting back to normal, it's about finding your new normal and so you're left to redefine what your new normal looks like. You carry the fear of recurrence. You navigate a new relationship with your body, your health, and your future. And you ask yourself: How do I want to live now? How do I thrive with this second chance I’ve been given?

To mark this milestone, I’m sharing a complimentary guide I created for women cancer survivors. It’s filled with gentle strategies and insights to help you reconnect with your strength, restore your wellness, and rediscover joy.

Whether you or someone you love is newly out of treatment or years into survivorship, this guide is a meaningful first step.

And if the guide resonates with you, you’ll be invited to explore a self-paced online course I created for women cancer survivors, especially those navigating life after treatment while balancing professional and family responsibilities. It’s filled with tools for healing, health, hope, and empowerment.

I created it for women who want to go deeper — emotionally, spiritually, and practically — and who are ready to move from surviving to thriving, embracing life fully after cancer.

If this message is meaningful for you, please share it with others who could benefit.

With love and gratitude,

Roslyn
