This one is for the men.
In this deeply moving episode, Adam shares the story of his brother Brett, a hardworking, big-hearted young man whose life changed from simple back pain to an aggressive cancer diagnosis in a matter of months.
Adam opens up about brotherhood, the brutal reality of treatment, and how Brett turned his pain into purpose by sharing his story online to help others. It’s a raw conversation about love, grief, mental health, and what it really means to stand beside someone you love right to the very end.
A powerful reminder to speak up, get checked, and never underestimate the impact of showing up for the people you love.
