When Lauren Oggs Gee turned 50, she scheduled a routine colonoscopy—expecting nothing more than a check on her health. What followed was a shocking diagnosis: colon cancer. But what could have broken her instead became the catalyst for a bold new chapter of purpose.
In this powerful episode, Lauren shares how her unexpected cancer journey led her to document her story publicly—something that not only encouraged others to get screened but also launched her into an entirely new career as an influencer. With honesty, grace, and a deep faith in God, Lauren walks us through her radical career pivot, the emotional toll of a cancer diagnosis, and how obedience opened doors she never could’ve imagined.
She’s now living a life beyond her wildest dreams—but not without the detours. Lauren is a passionate advocate for early screening, and her story is a moving reminder that God often uses the most painful moments to birth the most purposeful ones.
Whether you're navigating a career change, walking through a diagnosis, or waiting for clarity, this conversation will encourage you to trust the process—and the God who writes every chapter.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
