About Igniting the Fire Within

From the publisher's feed

Igniting the Fire Within is a limited series podcast presented by Wildfire Magazine & the Burn podcast. Ripped from the pages of the popular Wildfire Magazine anthology, “Igniting the Fire Within,” we curated this special mini podcast for you. Each week, hear a bite-sized episode featuring “just the stories” from the book read by the author. This is a collection of 50 stories of healing, hope and humor offering an insider’s view into today’s young breast cancer community. Our storytellers experienced a shift in perspective as a result of something that happened to them. And the cancer diagnosis was not the thing that happened. Or it wasn’t the only thing. These stories are like you've never read - or heard - before. They go way deeper than the medical facts to the evolution of survivorship. There is medicine for each of us in these stories, whether you’ve been personally diagnosed with cancer or not. Think of this as your dynamic audiobook version of Igniting the Fire Within. Listener note: Cancer is a salty business. Sometimes talking about it and the aftermath requires salty language.
