In this episode, Holly Gainsboro speaks with Caroline Williams, a 37-year-old yoga instructor and massage therapist from Florida, about her journey living with glioblastoma. Diagnosed while 20 weeks pregnant, Caroline faced unimaginable challenges and life-changing decisions while continuing to care for her young daughter. She shares how community support, self-advocacy, and her commitment to hope have carried her through since her 2019 diagnosis. Together, Holly and Caroline discuss resilience, loss, and the importance of not letting anyone define your timeline when facing brain cancer.

Caroline Williams lives in Tampa Florida with her daughter, Lily, and husband, Jason. She was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in March 2022. Before her diagnosis, she owned a massage therapy and yoga business. Now, she dedicates her time to her family, writing, and hobbies.
