In this episode of Matters.com Presents, Olivia interviews Samantha Holland — a cancer survivor, resilience coach, and former Disney VIP tour guide — to talk about transforming pain into purpose.

At just 34, Samantha was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and rare forms of breast cancer. What saved her life was early detection, a trust in her intuition, and a medical team that truly listened.

Samantha opens up about:

• Navigating identity shifts during and after treatment
• The emotional aftermath of remission and “the silence” that follows
• Why she rejects the idea that “everything happens for a reason”
• Her philosophy of giving purpose to pain to create meaning and resilience
• The power of storytelling, community, and mental health awareness
