Episode Description
Some seasons remind us just how much hope is out there.
In this solo episode, Darcie reflects on the extraordinary ripple effect of National Cancer Survivors Month. A month spent celebrating survivorship, resilience, and the stories that continue to move us.
From hospital book drops to raw conversations, from quiet acts of courage to public gatherings, this month became a living portrait of what it means to show up for one another. With the help of our partners and the hearts of our volunteers, hope found its way into waiting rooms, comuninity events, and hospital corridors all across the country.
Darcie shares the in-between moments: the breakthroughs, the unexpected grace, the stories handed over in trust, and what they reveal about how far a simple act of presence can reach.
It’s a reflection on the depth beneath the surface. And an invitation to see what this month stirred in all of us.
If you’ve been following along, or even if you’re just finding us now, this is the episode that ties it all together.
