Sum of Ages
Sum of Ages is a growing audio archive of human experience.
Each episode preserves one person’s voice - speaking in their own words about a lived experience that has shaped how they see the world. Across hundreds of topics, the project gathers stories of loss and happiness, failure and purpose, regret and resilience - without performance or expectation.
The long-term aim is simple and ambitious: to accumulate one million years of lived experience, creating a public library of real voices that can be returned to when guidance, recognition, or quiet company is needed.
Sum of Ages exists as a reminder that whatever we are carrying, someone else has carried something like it before - and chose to speak.
Sum of Ages
42 years of life, and CANCER with Emma.
Emma, a 42-year-old wife and mother of two from Western Australia radiates optimism and joy. At just 30, Emma was diagnosed with a form of skin cancer—a moment that could have shattered her spirit but instead fueled her to live with even more gratitude and purpose.
In this episode, she shares how she faced the 'big C,' as she calls it, while continuing to embrace her roles as a Mum, a wife, and a lover of life. Emma’s story is a powerful reminder of the strength we can find in gratitude and the importance of caring for both our mental and physical health.
