Welcome to our premiere episode of Season 4!  We wanted to bring you something very special and our guest, Lara MacGregor certainly delivers on that and more. Host Lisa Laudico spoke with Lara in November of last year.  In 2012, Lara MacGregor founded Hope Scarves which to date has sent over 20K scarves to people facing cancer in every state in the US and 29 countries around the world.  In 2014 when Lara was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer the focus of Hope Scarves broadened to include support for metastatic breast cancer research.  Lara died in January 2022  of MBC and in her last year of life, Lara turned the camera on herself to share the unvarnished truth of declining well with hope.  Always hope as she would say.  This is an interview that doesn’t shy away from the hard conversations that we have when diagnosed with a terminal disease and gives Lara the opportunity to tell us what it has all felt like for her.  We are also joined by April Stearns, founder and editor of Wildfire Magazine and The Burn Podcast.  April had been working with Lara on her soon-to-be-published book, A Hopeful Life, and we hear all about that too.  This episode felt like a gift to be part of, to edit, and to produce.  It's the perfect way to kick off a very ambitious season.
