As Mo continues on the mend after a challenging few months of poor health, I wanted a re-release a “Greatest Hits” episode of Mo-ments of Experience as I continue a brief sabbatical from new content to nurse Mo back to himself. As I reflect on this picture of Mo there for my wife on the first night after she lost her long, beautiful hair to cancer, I think of the story of my amazing guest, Stephanie Abbott, who’s eyes were opened wide when this healthcare experience executive faced her own battle with cancer.

What happens when a healthcare executive becomes the patient?

Geoffrey sits down with Stephanie Abbott, a leader, cancer survivor, and author of “Buried or Planted.” Stephanie opens up about her journey from diagnosis to healing, and how shifting her mindset from feeling “buried” to realizing she was actually being “planted” changed everything.

From the power of human connection to the surprising impact of a single word, this episode reminds us that resilience and purpose can grow even in the hardest seasons.

Don’t miss this replay of a listener favorite that continues to spark hope and inspiration.
