This conversation is a balm for anyone still finding her footing after a life-altering diagnosis. Staci sits down with survivor, author, and mental health professional Amber Jackson to talk candidly about the moment everything changed, what healing looks like beyond treatment, and how telling your story can become its own kind of medicine. Together, they speak directly to the woman who still feels afraid, unseen, or in pieces—and offer language, practices, and hope for the road ahead.

In this episode:

• The first moments after “You have breast cancer”

• Emotional and spiritual healing beyond the medical timeline

• Writing as reclamation and purpose

• A love letter to the woman still healing

• Redefining womanhood, joy, and showing up after diagnosis

Content note: Contains open discussion of cancer, treatment, and recovery.
