Cancer Is Real! Don't Think It's A Pretend Boogie Man
In today's episode, I speak about my very close friend who ignored all the warning signs and the consequences of that decision. Cancer is real, and although many fear cancer, many also ignore the warning signs. I am here not to put fear into you; however, I want to educate you that by being one step ahead, you can look at your diagnosis differently and make better decisions.

Book 101 Podcast and The Journal That's Changing How Women Fight Cancer (And Why I Had To Create It)
I never planned to write a journal. I was just a woman trying to survive cancer, scribbling thoughts in notebooks at 3 AM when sleep wouldn't come. Writing my way through the fear, the treatments, the identity crisis that comes with having your life turned upside down. In today's episode, you get to eavesdrop on my interview with the Book 101 Review Podcast, where I pulled back the curtain on why I created the Breast Cancer Heroes Journey Journal - and how it's empowering women around the world. This isn't just another feel-good story about turning pain into purpose. This is the raw truth about what happened when I realized that everything I was writing to save my own sanity could save other women too. I'll share the exact moment I knew I had to turn my personal healing process into something bigger. The letters from women who told me my journal gave them permission to feel angry, scared, and hopeful all at the same time. The stories of transformation that still bring me to tears. You'll hear about the woman who used the journal to find her voice after years of silence. The one who discovered her authentic self buried under decades of people-pleasing. The mother who learned to put herself first for the first time in her life. I'll walk you through why traditional cancer resources weren't enough for me - and why they're not enough for most women. How I realized that surviving cancer isn't just about beating the disease, it's about becoming who you were always meant to be. This journal isn't about positive thinking or pretending everything is fine. It's about finding strength in the darkness. It's about using your cancer diagnosis as a catalyst for the most authentic life you've ever lived. The interview that reveals why I'm so passionate about helping women transform their greatest challenge into their greatest breakthrough.

The Year That Changed Everything (And Why I've Been Silent About It)
I've been keeping secrets from you. Not intentionally. Not maliciously. But there's been so much happening behind the scenes this past year that I haven't known how to talk about it. Until now. In today's episode, I'm ripping off the band-aid and telling you everything that's been going on in my world. The good, the bad, the messy, and the miraculous. Because here's the thing... I've always prided myself on being transparent with you. Sharing the real stuff. Not just the highlight reel, but the behind-the-scenes chaos that makes up an actual life. But this year? This year has been so intense, so overwhelming, so full of plot twists that I didn't even know where to begin. I'll share the moments that knocked me sideways when I least expected it. The opportunities that showed up out of nowhere. The challenges that tested everything I thought I knew about myself. The people who entered my life and changed its entire trajectory. There have been breakthroughs that left me speechless. Setbacks that made me question everything. Decisions that scared the hell out of me but had to be made anyway. Conversations that shifted my entire perspective on what's possible. I'll walk you through the timeline of chaos that's been my reality. The nights I couldn't sleep because my mind was racing with possibilities. The days I wanted to hide under the covers because it all felt like too much. The relationships that deepened. The ones that ended. The new connections that feel like they were always meant to happen. The projects that took on a life of their own. The dreams that became reality faster than I ever imagined. This is me, catching you up on the whirlwind that's been my life. No filters, no editing, just the raw truth about what happens when everything changes at once.

What If You Could Podcast... The Interview Where I Finally Tell The Whole Truth (No Stone Left Unturned)
I've told pieces of my story before. Fragments here and there. The highlights. The lessons learned. The inspirational moments that make people feel good about the human spirit. But I've never told the WHOLE story. Until now. In today's episode, you get to listen in on my raw, unfiltered interview with Gary Scott on the What If You Could Podcast, where I finally laid it all out. Every messy detail. Every moment of doubt. Every breakthrough that changed everything. This isn't the polished version of my cancer journey. This is the real deal. I share what it was really like getting diagnosed in 2018. Not just the shock, but the anger. The fear that consumed me for weeks. The way I questioned everything I thought I knew about life, health, and what really matters. You'll hear about the spiritual awakening that blindsided me in the middle of chemotherapy. How facing death opened doors in my soul I didn't even know existed. The way cancer became not just a physical battle, but a complete transformation of who I am at my core. I talk about the strength I discovered that I never knew I had. The moments I wanted to give up and what pulled me through. The relationships that changed forever - some that deepened, others that couldn't survive my transformation. This interview goes places I've never gone publicly before. The depression that hit after treatment ended. The identity crisis of not knowing who I was without cancer to fight. The slow, painful process of rebuilding not just my body, but my entire sense of self. Gary asked the questions I've been avoiding. I gave the answers I've been afraid to share. This is me, completely vulnerable, holding nothing back. The conversation that reveals why sharing my journey isn't just helpful for others - it's essential for my own healing.

The Elite Athlete Who Destroyed Her Gut (And How She Rebuilt It From Scratch)
Courtney Cowie had everything figured out. Elite athlete. Big Ten rower. Academic overachiever with a Master's degree. Living her dream in Tokyo, studying ancient healing practices while pushing her body to its absolute limits. Then her gut completely fell apart. In today's episode, I sit down with Courtney, now a certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, who learned the hard way that you can't out-train a broken digestive system. This isn't another feel-good story about someone who got a little bloated and fixed it with probiotics. This is the raw truth about what happens when over-training, over-achieving, and toxic exposure collide to create a health crisis that nearly derailed everything. Courtney shares the moment she realized her relentless pursuit of perfection was literally poisoning her from the inside out. How the same drive that made her an elite athlete almost destroyed her health. The wake-up call that came when her body started shutting down despite doing everything "right." You'll hear about her journey from competitive swimmer to patient, from someone who thought she knew everything about health to someone who had to rebuild her understanding from the ground up. The 3.5 years in Tokyo that opened her eyes to healing approaches Western medicine never taught her. She reveals the connection between gut health and everything else - your energy, your mood, your ability to think clearly, even your capacity to handle stress. How symptoms aren't problems to suppress but wisdom your body is trying to share with you. This conversation goes deep into the practical stuff too. The testing that revealed what was really going wrong. The lifestyle changes that seemed impossible but became non-negotiable. The natural solutions that worked when nothing else would. Courtney's story proves that sometimes your biggest breakdown becomes your greatest breakthrough - if you're willing to listen to what your body is trying to tell you.

The Nurse Who Lost Everything For Refusing The Vaccine (And What She's Building From The Ashes)
Svetlana had it all. Twenty-five years as a registered nurse. A marriage to a family doctor. Two beautiful children. A career built on helping people heal. Then 2021 happened. And she lost everything. In today's episode, I sit down with Svetlana, the 44-year-old Canadian nurse who became a whistleblower when she saw what was happening in healthcare. The woman who chose her principles over her paycheck, her conscience over her comfort. This isn't just another COVID story. This is the story of what happens when someone in the medical system refuses to stay silent about what they're witnessing. When a healthcare professional risks everything to speak the truth in a world that doesn't want to hear it. Svetlana shares the moment she knew she couldn't participate in what she calls "the COVID scam." The choice between keeping her job and keeping her integrity. How standing up for her beliefs cost her not just her career, but her marriage and custody of her children. You'll hear about the divorce from a family doctor who couldn't understand her position. The custody battle where her refusal to vaccinate her children was used against her. The complete dismantling of the life she'd built over decades. But here's where the story gets interesting... instead of breaking, Svetlana rebuilt. She reveals how losing everything forced her to create something better. The wellness paradigm she's building is based on "not harm" - the principle she says modern medicine has abandoned. Her work with vaccine-injured clients around the globe. The affordable healing solutions she's bringing to people who've been failed by the system. From Canada to the USA, UK, and soon Australia, Svetlana is creating the healthcare revolution she believes the world desperately needs. Her mission is to eliminate vaccines from the planet. The urgency she feels to help people heal from what she says the medical system has done to them. This is the conversation about what it costs to stand up for what you believe in - and what becomes possible when you refuse to back down.

The 13-Year-Old Who Became A Cancer Expert (Before She Ever Had It)
Most people learn about breast cancer when they get diagnosed. Joelle Kaufman has been living with it since she was 13 years old. In today's episode, I sit down with Joelle, the woman who's been fighting breast cancer her entire life - first as a daughter, then as a sister, and finally as a patient herself. This isn't just another cancer story. This is the story of someone who spent decades watching the people she loved battle this disease, knowing her turn was probably coming. Joelle shares what it was like being thrust into the role of caregiver at 13 when her mother was diagnosed. How a teenager learns to navigate hospitals, treatments, and the fear that hangs over everything. The way cancer doesn't just affect the patient - it rewrites the entire family's story. You'll hear about the vigilance that became her way of life. Living with the constant awareness that she carried the genetic risk. The screenings started earlier than most. The way she prepared for a battle she hoped would never come but somehow knew was inevitable. Then came her sister's diagnosis. Another round of caregiving. Another reminder that cancer wasn't done with her family yet. The exhaustion of being strong for everyone else while carrying her fear. And finally, her curveball. The moment she went from observer to patient. How all those years of watching others fight suddenly became her fight. The strange advantage of knowing what was coming and the devastating reality that knowing doesn't make it easier. But here's what makes Joelle's story different - she's turning decades of experience into a roadmap for others. Her new book "Crushing the Cancer Curveball" isn't just a memoir, it's a survival guide written by someone who's seen this battle from every angle. The conversation about what it means to be born into a cancer family and how that shapes everything you think you know about survival.

The Doctor Who's About To Destroy Everything You Think You Know About Medicine
Dr. Shadi Vahdat spent twenty years playing by the rules of traditional medicine. UC Berkeley graduate. Albert Einstein College of Medicine trained. Internal medicine physician working in the system, following protocols, prescribing what she was taught to prescribe. Then something changed everything. In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Vahdat, the physician who walked away from conventional medicine and into a world that most doctors won't even acknowledge exists. This isn't your typical doctor interview where someone talks about their credentials and tells you to trust the system. This is a conversation with someone who's seen both sides and is ready to tell you what really happens behind those hospital doors. Dr. Vahdat shares the moment she realized that everything she'd been taught in medical school was only half the story. How twenty years of treating patients with pills and procedures left her watching people get sicker, not better. The breaking point that made her question everything she thought she knew about healing. You'll hear about her journey into integrative medicine - the world where ancient wisdom meets modern science. The treatments that work but aren't taught in medical schools. The solutions that heal but don't generate profits for pharmaceutical companies. She reveals what it's like being a physician and a caregiver simultaneously. How watching her own family navigate the healthcare system opened her eyes to its failures. The gap between what doctors know and what patients need to know to truly heal. This conversation goes places most medical professionals won't go. The truth about why chronic diseases keep getting worse despite billions spent on research. The simple solutions that are ignored because they can't be patented. The reason your doctor has seven minutes to spend with you and why that's destroying healthcare. Dr. Vahdat's mission to make real healthcare accessible and understandable for everyone - even when it means challenging everything the medical establishment stands for.

The Navy Commander Who Discovered The $50 Technology That's Reversing Alzheimer's (And Cancer Recovery)
Darlene Greene had tried everything. IV stem cells. Hyperbaric chambers. Ozone therapy. Thousands of dollars were spent watching her husband disappear into Early Alzheimer's while she desperately searched for something, anything, that could bring him back. Then she found a technology so simple, so affordable, that she couldn't believe it was real. In today's episode, I sit down with Darlene, the retired US Navy Commander and Master Foundation Cell Activation Technology Consultant who stumbled upon what she calls "the miracle nobody talks about." This isn't another expensive treatment that only the wealthy can afford. This isn't another protocol that requires a team of specialists. This is something that costs less than your monthly coffee budget and started working within the first week. Darlene shared the moment she realized her husband's symptoms were dramatically improving. Not slowly, not subtly, but dramatically. The cognitive changes that happened so fast she thought she was imagining them. The hope that flooded back after two years of watching him fade away. You'll hear about the technology that activates your body's master foundation cells without drugs, without prescriptions, without any side effects or interactions with other treatments. The GHK-CU peptides repair DNA at the cellular level. The photobiomodulation sounds like science fiction but works like nothing she's ever seen. But here's what haunts Darlene - the question that drives her every day: "Why didn't I know about this two years ago? Where would my husband be if we had started using this technology earlier?" She reveals how this same technology is transforming breast cancer recovery. The patients who are healing faster, stronger, with less pain and better outcomes. Stem cell activation is happening naturally, affordably, in people's own homes. This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about healing, aging, and what's possible for your body's repair systems. The technology that's so powerful, Darlene made it her mission to share it with the world.

The Woman Who Asked A Stranger To Show Her Breasts (And Why It Changed Everything)
Erica Campbell was terrified. Facing a mastectomy. Staring down at the loss of a part of her body that felt essential to who she was as a woman. Drowning in fear about what she'd look like, feel like, be like after surgery. Then a woman she barely knew made an offer that changed everything. In today's episode, I sit down with Erica, who experienced something so powerful during her cancer journey that she's made it her mission to recreate it for thousands of other women. This isn't just another mastectomy story. This is about the moment when seeing someone else's reality became the bridge between Erica's fear and her hope. Erica shares the vulnerability of that conversation with a near stranger. The courage it took to ask. The generosity it took to show. How seeing reconstructed breasts on a real woman, living a real life, gave her something no doctor's pamphlet or medical diagram ever could - actual hope for her future. You'll hear about the transformation that happened at that moment. How fear shifted to confidence. How the unknown became manageable. How one woman's willingness to be vulnerable became another woman's lifeline. But here's where Erica's story gets powerful - she didn't just take that gift and move on. She decided to pay it forward on a massive scale. She reveals her mission to provide this same experience to thousands of women facing mastectomy. The network she's building. The conversations she's having. The fear she's helping women move through by showing them what's possible on the other side. This conversation goes deep into choosing the harder path when it's the right path. Facing fears head-on instead of letting them control your decisions. Trusting a process that feels impossible when you're in the middle of it. Erica's journey proves that sometimes the most powerful medicine isn't what doctors prescribe - it's what one human being offers to another in their darkest moment.

The Corporate Executive Who Broke The Silence On What's Really Killing Women Over 40
Amita Sharma was drowning in corporate America. Perimenopause was wreaking havoc on her body and mind, but she couldn't talk about it. Hot flashes during board meetings. Brain fog that made her question her competence. Mood swings that felt like they were destroying her career. And absolutely no resources to help her navigate any of it. In today's episode, I sit down with Amita, the woman who got so fed up with the silence around women's health that she decided to blow the whole thing wide open. This isn't just another menopause conversation. This is about the taboo subjects that are killing women - and how the silence around them is making everything worse, including breast cancer risk. Amita shares the brutal reality of being a high-performing woman in a world that pretends perimenopause doesn't exist. The isolation of struggling with symptoms nobody wants to discuss. The way corporate America fails women during the most challenging transition of their lives. You'll hear about the moment she realized she wasn't alone - millions of women were suffering in silence, thinking something was wrong with them instead of understanding this was a natural process that deserved support, not shame. She reveals the connection between untreated menopausal symptoms and chronic disease. How stress, hormonal chaos, and lack of proper care create the perfect storm for conditions like breast cancer. The way society abandons women after their reproductive years when they need support the most. But here's where Amita's story gets revolutionary - instead of accepting the status quo, she created the solution she wished existed. Her holistic wellness programs tackle the subjects nobody else will touch. Sexual health. Menopause. Stress. Anxiety. The real issues affecting women over 40 get swept under the rug while their health deteriorates. This conversation will make you angry about what women have been forced to endure in silence - and hopeful about what becomes possible when we finally start talking about the truth.

The Man Who Lived With Cancer Patients For 10 Years (And Discovered What Really Causes It)
Paul Leendertse did something no doctor, researcher, or oncologist has ever done. He moved in with stage 3 and 4 cancer patients. For 30 days at a time. For 10 years straight. Not to treat their cancer, but to discover what caused it. And what he found will shatter everything you think you know about this disease. In today's episode, I sit down with Paul, the founder of the Root Cause Institute and author of "The Root Cause of Cancer," who achieved something the medical establishment said was impossible - a 90% success rate in healing advanced cancer patients without any treatments whatsoever. This isn't another alternative therapy story. This isn't about supplements or diets or miracle cures. This is about something far more fundamental - and far more controversial. Paul shares what happened when he stripped away everything - no chemo, no radiation, no alternative treatments, no protocols - and focused solely on identifying the root cause of each person's cancer. The patterns he discovered living intimately with patients who had exhausted every option modern medicine had to offer. You'll hear about the clients who were sent home to die and instead experienced complete healing. The emotional and psychological roots that were uncovered when everything else was removed from the equation. The moment Paul realized that cancer isn't what we've been told it is. He reveals the psycho-emotional basis of disease that medical schools don't teach. The specific triggers that create the internal environment where cancer thrives. Why some people heal and others don't - and it has nothing to do with treatments or genetics. This conversation will challenge every assumption you have about cancer causation. The root causes have nothing to do with bad luck or family history. The healing that happens when you address what's wrong instead of just fighting symptoms. Paul's work proves that the most advanced cancers can heal completely when you identify and resolve what caused them in the first place. The 90% success rate is making the medical establishment very uncomfortable.

The Pilates Instructor Who's Revolutionizing Cancer Recovery (One Movement At A Time)
Beth Sandlin knows something most cancer patients don't. Your body remembers trauma. Every surgery, every treatment, every moment of fear gets stored in your muscles, your posture, your nervous system. And until you address it, you're not healing. In today's episode, I sit down with Beth, the founder of Trifecta Pilates, who's discovered the missing piece in cancer recovery that nobody talks about - a movement that heals instead of just rebuilds. This isn't your typical fitness conversation. This isn't about getting back in shape after treatment. This is about understanding how cancer and its treatments rewire your entire nervous system - and how the right movement can rewire it back. Beth shares what she's witnessed working with breast cancer patients through her online Pilates classes. The bodies that have forgotten how to move without fear. The nervous system is stuck in survival mode long after treatment ends. The way trauma lives in your tissues until you consciously release it. You'll hear about the difference between exercise that stresses your system and movement that soothes it. How moving in alignment with your nervous system can be the difference between surviving cancer and truly thriving after it. The mind-body-spirit connection that gets severed during treatment and how Pilates rebuilds it. She reveals what happens when breast cancer patients start moving their bodies with intention instead of just going through the motions. The emotional releases that happen on the mat. The strength that returns not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. The way proper movement becomes a form of therapy that reaches places traditional counseling can't touch. Beth's approach through YouTube and the Trifecta Pilates App is bringing this healing into homes worldwide. Accessibility is changing how cancer survivors think about their recovery. The community that's forming around movement as medicine. This conversation will change how you think about your body after cancer - not as something broken that needs fixing, but as something wise that knows how to heal when given the right support.

The Truth About Double Mastectomy That Doctors Don't Tell You (Until It's Too Late)
Sonia Couto thought she knew what she was signing up for. At 38, healthy and strong, she decided on a double mastectomy after her breast cancer diagnosis. The doctors explained the procedure. She signed the forms. She thought she understood what was coming. She had no idea. In today's episode, I sit down with Sonia, now cancer-free and thriving, who's ready to share the brutal truths about double mastectomy that no one discusses in those pre-surgery consultations. This isn't just another mastectomy story. This is the conversation about what happens after the surgery that could save your life but change everything about how you live it. Sonia shares what the medical team told her versus what she experienced. The completely wrong recovery timeline. The physical realities that no pamphlet prepared her for. The emotional aftermath that blindsided her when she thought the hardest part was over. You'll hear about the multiple major operations that followed. The complications nobody mentioned as possibilities. The way her body had to relearn how to function after such massive reconstruction. The identity crisis that comes with losing and rebuilding such an intimate part of yourself. She reveals the questions she wishes she'd asked before surgery. The support systems she needed but didn't know to arrange. The recovery process was nothing like what she'd been told to expect. The long-term effects are still unfolding years later. But here's what makes Sonia's story powerful - she's not sharing this to scare women away from the surgery that may save their lives. She's sharing it so they can make truly informed decisions with their eyes wide open. The truth about what double mastectomy means for your body, your relationships, your daily life, and your future. The reality check that could change how you prepare for and recover from this life-altering decision.

Six Years Later And I'm Not The Same Person (Here's What Really Changed)
It hit me like a freight train yesterday. Six years. It's been almost six years since my cancer diagnosis, and I barely recognize the woman I was back then. Not just physically - though that's changed too - but everything about how I think, how I live, how I show up in the world. In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on where I am now versus where I started. The real updates nobody asks for but everyone needs to hear. This isn't a celebration episode. This isn't me telling you how grateful I am for cancer or any of that inspirational nonsense. This is the raw truth about what six years of intentional healing looks like when you're living it instead of just talking about it. I'll share what I've been doing daily to heal - not just survive, but heal. The practices that stuck and the ones I abandoned. The breakthroughs that happened when I wasn't looking for them. The setbacks that knocked me sideways when I thought I had it all figured out. You'll hear about the person I've become that I never expected to be. The boundaries I've learned to set. The relationships that couldn't survive my transformation. The dreams that emerged from the ashes of my old life that I'm finally brave enough to pursue. I'll walk you through where I've been these past months when I've been quieter than usual. The deep work happening behind the scenes. The projects are brewing that I haven't talked about yet. The direction my life is taking feels both terrifying and exactly right. Because here's what I've learned - healing isn't a destination you arrive at. It's a way of living that changes everything about who you become. And six years in, I'm just getting started. The updates that matter. The changes that count. The future is unfolding faster than I ever imagined possible.

The Cancer Treatment Statistics They're Hiding From You (And Why I've Been Silent)
I've been digging. Deep. For months, I've been quieter than usual because I stumbled across something that made me question everything I thought I knew about breast cancer treatment. Statistics that aren't being shared with patients. Data that's being buried. Truth that could change how every woman approaches her diagnosis. In today's episode, I'm breaking my silence about what I've discovered and why it's taken me this long to talk about it. This isn't conspiracy theory nonsense. This is documented information that's somehow not making it into the conversations happening in oncology offices across the country. The success rates that don't match what patients are being told. The long-term effects that are being downplayed or ignored completely. I'll share where I've been these past months and what sent me down this research rabbit hole. The stories that started trickling in from listeners. The patterns I couldn't ignore. The moment I realized that what women are being told about their treatment options isn't the whole story. You'll hear about the statistics that made my blood run cold. The treatment protocols that are standard practice despite questionable effectiveness. The side effects that are being presented as rare when they're actually common. The alternatives that exist but aren't being discussed. I'll walk you through the conversations I've had with women who wish they'd known this information before making their treatment decisions. The regret in their voices. The anger at being kept in the dark about options that could have changed everything. This episode is going to make some people very uncomfortable. Medical professionals who prefer patients don't ask too many questions. Institutions that benefit from maintaining the status quo. Anyone invested in keeping women from making truly informed decisions about their own bodies. But you deserve to know what I've found. You deserve to have all the information before you make decisions that will affect the rest of your life.

The Year I Disappeared (And The Tool That Changed Everything About My Scanxiety)
I've been gone for almost a year. Not physically - I've been here, living my life, showing up for my family and work. But I disappeared from this space because I was learning something that I wasn't ready to share until now. In today's episode, I'm breaking down exactly where I've been and what I discovered about surviving as a breast cancer survivor - not just the disease, but the mental torture that comes after. This isn't another "stay positive" conversation. This is about the brutal reality of scanxiety that can hijack your entire life if you let it. The way check-ups can steal months of happiness before they even happen. How the fear of recurrence can become more destructive than the cancer ever was. I'll share what sent me into hiding for almost a year. The assumption I made about my healing turned out to be completely wrong. How I thought I had this survivor thing figured out until life reminded me I didn't know anything. You'll hear about the tool I discovered that's changing everything about how I approach medical appointments. Not another meditation app or breathing technique, but something that works when your mind is spiraling into worst-case scenarios. The game-changer that's allowing me to live on my terms instead of cancer's terms. I'll walk you through why having more tools in your arsenal isn't just helpful - it's essential. How each new coping mechanism becomes another layer of protection between you and the fear that wants to consume your future. The way building your toolkit becomes an act of rebellion against a disease that's already taken enough. Because here's what I learned during my year away - assuming you've got this survivor thing handled is dangerous. The moment you think you're past the mental challenges is exactly when they'll knock you sideways. The tool that's giving me my life back and why I had to disappear to find it.

The Woman Who Lost Everything To Cancer (Then Discovered What Love Really Means)
Kim Sorrelle thought she understood love. Then breast cancer crashed into her life. Then she watched someone she loved die from the same disease that was trying to kill her. Then everything she thought she knew about love, life, and what really matters got turned upside down. In today's episode, I sit down with Kim, the entrepreneur, author, and humanitarian who spent a year searching for the true meaning of love after cancer stripped away everything she thought was important. This isn't another inspirational cancer story. This is the raw truth about what happens when you're fighting for your life while watching someone else lose theirs. When you're trying to find hope while drowning in grief. When you have to rebuild your understanding of love from the ground up. Kim shares the moment she realized that everything she'd been calling love wasn't love at all. How facing her mortality while grieving someone else's death forced her to question everything. The decision to spend a year deliberately searching for what love means when everything else falls away. You'll hear about her journey that took her to the streets of Haiti, where she found answers in the most unexpected places. The discoveries were sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying, always life-changing. How the people who had the least taught her the most about what matters. She reveals what it's like to open your heart to love again when cancer has made you intimately acquainted with loss. The courage it takes to choose a connection when you know how quickly it can be taken away. The way grief and gratitude can exist in the same space. Kim's award-winning bestselling book "Love Is" chronicles this journey, but this conversation goes deeper. The mission that emerged from her pain. How she's using what she learned to change the world with the power of love. The way cancer became not her ending, but her beginning.

The 41-Year-Old Who Asked The Questions Your Doctor Doesn't Want To Answer
Juni Bucher walked into her oncologist's office with a list. Not a list of questions about survival rates or treatment schedules. A list of questions about what her life would actually look like after treatment. Questions about sex, intimacy, identity, and all the things doctors are trained to avoid discussing. Her doctor was not prepared. In today's episode, I sit down with Juni, the breast cancer advocate who's made it her mission to fill the gaps that standard medical care leaves wide open - especially for younger women facing a diagnosis that's becoming terrifyingly common. This isn't your typical cancer conversation. This is about the side effects nobody mentions in those pre-treatment consultations. The long-term impacts get glossed over. The reality of living in a body that's been through hell and trying to reclaim it as your own. Juni shares what it was like being 41 and suddenly thrust into a medical system designed for older women. The resources that didn't exist for someone in her situation. The questions that made medical professionals uncomfortable needed to be asked anyway. You'll hear about the taboo subjects she refuses to avoid. The conversations about sexuality that cancer centers don't have. The way treatment affects intimacy, desire, and your relationship with your own body. The new normal that nobody prepares you for. She reveals what she discovered when she started looking beyond standard-of-care treatments. The healing modalities that exist outside the medical model. The approaches that doctors aren't obligated to mention could change everything about your recovery. Juni's vibrant personality and brutal honesty have created a community of women who were tired of being told to just be grateful they survived. Women who want to thrive, do not just exist. Women who refuse to accept that cancer means the end of their sexual selves. The advocate who's saying what everyone else is thinking but afraid to voice.

The Single Mom Who Survived Cancer, Stroke, Heart Attack AND Lyme Disease (Her Secret Will Shock You)
Magic Barclay should be dead. Cancer tried to kill her. Then Lyme disease. Then a stroke. Then diabetes. Then a heart attack. Then hypoxia that nearly finished what everything else had started. But she's not just alive - she's thriving in ways that defy medical explanation. In today's episode, I sit down with Magic, the single mother of two who's become living proof that your body doesn't want you to die - it wants you to heal, if you give it what it needs. This isn't another survivor story. This is the story of someone who cracked the code on why some people heal from impossible diagnoses while others don't. Someone who discovered that treating symptoms is what keeps you sick, but treating root causes is what sets you free. Magic shares what it was like facing mortality over and over again while raising two children alone. The stress and chaos of single motherhood created the perfect storm for disease after disease. The moment she realized that everything the medical system was doing for her was making her worse, not better. You'll hear about her journey into the world of root cause healing. The discoveries changed everything about how she understood illness and recovery. Why your body's innate intelligence is more powerful than any treatment protocol if you know how to work with it instead of against it? She reveals her expertise in areas most people have never heard of - PNEI, the psycho-neuro-endo-immunology of trauma. Mold toxicity that's poisoning millions without them knowing it. The lymphatic system holds the key to healing but gets ignored by conventional medicine. Magic's transformation from someone dying of multiple diseases to someone teaching others how to heal proves that your body is designed for health, not sickness. Survival isn't about luck - it's about understanding what your body needs to do what it was born to do. The practitioner is living proof that there's always another way to heal.
