Week 4 of our summer series, where we are digging up our favorite episodes and re-airing them.

Just because a person gets cancer, it doesn't mean that their life stops. Being a parent is exhausting as it is, and having an illness on top of it is so mentally and physically draining. And then there's dating. As if being a single mom in your 30's wasn't hard enough! We get raw and candid in this episode.

Welcome back to our summer series, which allows us to take a much needed break with our families. On this episode, we talk about doctors and the God complex after Ashley received some angering news about her prognosis.

Why do we believe that our doctor is our savior? After all, they are just humans...fallible humans. Doctors do amazing things, yes, but they are not God. They do not know the future. Therefore, they do not get to dictate how much time we have left. Your body was designed to heal itself! But you may have to go beyond what your doctor tells you and find alternative healing methods that feel right for you.

Week 2 as we continue our summer series, where we get to take the summer off of recording, and you get to listen to old episodes.

On this particular day, Ashley came over sick as a dog. She thought she was dying, but Becky wondered if she was actually have a healing crisis, aka, a herxheimer reaction.

Herxheimer...it's so much more than a funny word. It can make you feel sicker than ever! Your doctor doesn't know what it is and says they can't find what's wrong with you. You start to feel crazy! But you know you feel off, even though you can't articulate what off means. Is it the flu? Is it a migraine? Am I dehydrated? Tired? Hungry? Cancer returning? Maybe I'm just a hypochondriac? You may be going through a healing crisis, also known as the herxheimer reaction. The girls explain what this means and how you can get through it.

Welcome to our summer series, where we get to take a few weeks off, and some of our favorite past videos are highlighted.

In this episode, we are chatting about how great bare feet are!.

Grounding, also known as earthing, is a popular [but under-studied] technique for healing your body. It is as simple as touching bare skin to the earth, and it comes with many benefits. It may seem too simple or like a silly concept, but the positives outweigh the negatives when it comes to grounding. Try it and see what good it can do for your health.

I am back for part 2 with Sarah Marie Thiessen. If you have not listened to part 1, go and get to know Sarah better on episode 15!

Sarah is a local photographer and videographer who was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer at 27 years old. The breast cancer is gone, but she continues to deal with the ROS-1 mutation and was told this could be a lifelong cancer. Through her holistic mindset and the loving support of her partner, Phillip, Sarah continues to fight this disease with optimism and boldness. She speaks to the people who fall victim to the medical system and the fear tactics used to coerce them, and her desire to empower shines through as you listen to her story.

On today's episode, we talk to Sarah Marie Thiessen, a young entrepreneur, go-getter and all around hustler. Her passion for travel has brought her around the world, until her health brought her back home.

Sarah is a destination wedding photographer, filmmaker, and founder of Wild Love Media—but her wildest adventure wasn’t on a mountaintop or at a dream elopement in the forest. In February 2021, while traveling in Australia on a study visa for business management and social media marketing, she was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer at just 27 years old. What followed was a whirlwind of chemotherapy, failed surgeries, and ultimately, a cross-continental health journey that brought her back to Canada for answers—and more operations. While the original breast cancer is in remission, an inoperable tumor with the ROS-1 gene mutation was discovered and she is now on lifelong targeted therapy to help prolong her health and manage the disease.

Her story is not just about survival—but about listening to the body, advocating for your own care, and finding beauty in the in-between. Today, Sarah channels her fierce, untamed love for life into storytelling—both through her camera and her voice. She believes every soul has a story worth honoring, and that even in the hardest seasons, there is light to be captured.
