TW: This episode deals with a stillbirth.

Katie Joy Duke is battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer with grace and vulnerability because she's survived the death of a child. It took relating to her daughter in a new way, accepting that she isn't perfect, and learning to surrender to the process.

Since the production of this episode we are thrilled to learn Katie's latest CT scan shows she is cancer free!
