In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we’re bringing you a special conversation from one of our LifeAudio partners. Host Monica Schmelter sits down with Stephanie, a breast cancer survivor whose journey from diagnosis to healing is a raw and beautiful testament to faith, resilience, and God’s sustaining grace.

Stephanie shares what it was like to hear the words, “You have cancer,” and opens up about the emotional and physical battles she faced through treatment. From her biggest fears—like telling her mom and daughter—to discovering unexpected strength through Christ, her story is filled with honesty, hope, and encouragement.

Whether you're walking through your own health challenge or supporting someone who is, this episode will remind you of the power of faith, the value of community, and the importance of not putting yourself last.
