🎙️Episode Title: Divine Interruption: Kim Caton’s Unexpected Journey Through Cancer

🎧 Episode Summary:

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Kim Caton as she shares her deeply personal and faith-filled journey through cancer. What began as a doctor’s visit for a lump in her neck led to a shocking diagnosis of breast cancer—one she may have never known about without that initial concern.

Kim vulnerably walks us through the moments of fear, surrender, and trust that marked her path. She reflects on how God used what seemed like a random symptom to reveal something much deeper—and potentially life-saving. With grace and gratitude, Kim shares how her faith sustained her through treatment and how she now sees her diagnosis as a divine interruption.

If you or someone you love is facing uncertainty, this episode will remind you that God sees the whole story—and sometimes what feels like a detour is actually His hand guiding us toward healing.

✨ In This Episode:

• The unexpected way Kim discovered she had cancer

• The emotional and spiritual toll of a cancer diagnosis

• How God showed up for her in the smallest and biggest ways

• The power of listening to your body—and God’s prompting

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Christian life coach Darla Nelson to talk about the journey from stress and striving to stillness and surrender. We dive deep into the pressure to perform, people-please, and hold it all together—and how Jesus meets us in the middle of our mess. From battling imposter syndrome to facing opposition, this conversation reminds us that God doesn't wait for perfection—He uses willing, imperfect vessels.

One quote that stuck with me:
"Don't pretend that we have it all together. Remove the mask that we often wear and find true peace."

If you're ready to stop performing and start living with purpose and peace, this episode is for you.
