“Medicine saved my life, but I think it’s also attitude and your outlook.”
What happens when your entire future gets ripped away in a single diagnosis? Stephanie knows. She was just weeks away from her junior year of college when leukemia threatened to take everything, including her life. But through those long nights, painful treatments, and deep fears, Stephanie found something powerful — a purpose that would transform not just her own story, but the lives of countless young adults facing the same terrifying unknown.
In this heartfelt conversation, Stephanie shares how cancer stole her identity but sparked a mission to create a community where no young adult has to navigate cancer alone. You’ll hear how she turned her pain into a life-giving nonprofit in Western Pennsylvania, serving survivors with emotional, social, and financial resources that hospitals can’t always provide. Through weekly support groups, fun social events, emergency grants, and a culture of true belonging, Stephanie and her team remind young adults that they are not broken, not alone, and never to blame.
If you’ve ever faced the fear of cancer — whether in your own diagnosis or through someone you love — this episode will stay with you. Stephanie’s courage, honesty, and deep compassion reveal how mindset, connection, and hope can change the odds. Let her story be a reminder that even in the darkest valleys, there are people waiting to walk beside you.
If you or someone you know needs this message, don’t wait. Share it, replay it, and reach out for the resources that could make all the difference. You are not alone.
