Episode Summary:
In today’s intimate and very special episode, I’m joined by someone who embodies courage, resilience, and pure light — my daughter, Parker.
Parker bravely battled stage four kidney cancer and came out the other side with more wisdom and heart than most people gain in a lifetime. Today, we sit down together to talk about that journey — the highs, the lows, and the wild, beautiful strength it takes to keep showing up.
You’ll hear:
- Parker’s memories of treatment and recovery, in her own words
- What gave her strength on the hardest days
- The one thing she wants other kids (and grownups) to know about being brave
- Our mother-daughter reflections on love, gratitude, and healing
This isn’t just a cancer story. It’s a reminder that life is precious. That healing is possible. And that even in the darkest moments, light can break through.
