She beat cancer. Twice.
And she’s not here to sugarcoat it.
In this episode, Joya Robertson—a speech therapist, integrative health practitioner, and two-time cancer survivor—shares what really helped her take her health back.
Diagnosed with breast cancer at 34, Joya did everything the doctors recommended — chemo, immunotherapy, surgery. But when the cancer returned six years later, something inside her shifted. Instead of rushing into more treatment, she slowed down, prayed deeply, and started listening to what her body and her spirit were trying to say.
Her story will challenge the way you think about healing, faith, fear, and how much power you actually have over your health.
If you’re in a place where you feel overwhelmed, unsure, or even scared about your own health — this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.
What We Talk About:
-
What it’s really like to hear “you have cancer” — twice
-
Why Joya said no to chemo the second time — and what she chose instead
-
The healing power of slowing down and tuning in
-
How she shifted to a plant-based lifestyle and detoxed her home
-
Her decision to partner with an open-minded oncologist
-
The role of her Christian faith in every step of her healing
-
Why fear is such a dangerous force — and how faith flipped the script
-
The freedom that comes from advocating for yourself
