Welcome back to the Yes We Can podcast! 🎙️ In this special episode, host Kira Andersen is joined by one of her closest friends, Anna Prosser. Anna shares her incredible journey from being diagnosed with lymphoma in her early 30s to becoming a mother and thriving in life today. Her story is one of hope, resilience, and the miracles that can happen even in the face of life’s greatest challenges.
Anna begins by recounting the time in her life when she was diagnosed with lymphoma at the age of 33. She was in the best shape of her life, engaged to her now-husband Johnny, and enjoying her career in fitness. However, things took a sudden turn when she began experiencing unexplained symptoms, including shortness of breath and a persistent cough, which eventually led to her cancer diagnosis.
Through her quiet strength and determination, Anna battled lymphoma and emerged stronger than ever. Today, she is a stay-at-home mom to her "miracle baby" and continues to inspire those around her by sharing her story. Kira and Anna discuss the importance of listening to your body, the power of community and support, and the hope that exists even in the darkest times.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation between two close friends who have supported each other through life’s ups and downs. Anna’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the belief that miracles can and do happen.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
