When cancer changes your story, who gets to tell the truth about who you are?

In this special episode, Caitlan shares the heart behind her brand-new Thrivers Affirmation Toolkit — a faith-filled resource created to help metastatic breast cancer Thrivers reclaim their worth, respond to harmful thoughts, and anchor their hearts in the unchanging love of God.

If you’re not a Thriver — maybe you’re a survivor, a caregiver, or someone walking through a completely different kind of hardship — there's room for you here, too.

The toolkit was written with Thrivers in mind, but the Scriptures and affirmations inside it speak to anyone who needs to remember they are God’s beloved, even in an unexpected story.

This episode is a grounding breath of hope and an invitation to be held and deeply reminded of who you are. Listen in, and remember: you are still good, even here. 🌸

What if the story you’re living could become a source of healing- not just for you, but for others too? In this episode, we talk with April Stearns, writer and editor of Wildfire Magazine, to talk about the transformative power of storytelling, amplifying MBC voices, and how we can contribute to the healing our world needs!

Meet April:

April Stearns was diagnosed at 35 years old with Stage 3 breast cancer that she found while breastfeeding her daughter. Four years later, while struggling to “go back to normal” and find other young(er) people in similar circumstances, April launched Wildfire Magazine. Now she enjoys not only publishing the stories of those “too young for breast cancer,” she also finds pleasure in helping others heal through learning to write and share their stories. 

Wildfire provides a bi-monthly narrative magazine, weekly podcast, and small-group writing workshops for women diagnosed under the age of 50. Wildfire believes in the healing power of storytelling, turning a traumatic cancer experience into an empowering one! Learn more at wildfirecommunity.org.

What if the way we talk about breast cancer could bring more healing than harm? 💗

As someone learning to live fully in the middle of uncertainty, Caitlan invites you to explore how language influences the way we love and support one another through hard seasons.

From rethinking “battle” metaphors to finding gentle, faith-filled ways to show up for friends with cancer, this conversation blends biblical truth, emotional wisdom, and practical compassion.

Whether you’re walking through a diagnosis or walking alongside someone who is, you’ll leave encouraged to speak life — because words matter, and so does the heart behind them.

✨ Topics include:

• Language that hurts vs. language that heals

• The power of words in shaping hope and faith

• Changing the narrative of breast cancer awareness

Because the more goodness we seek, the more we find. 🌸

I’m flying solo today to wrap up both our special summer series- Stars Hollow Summer- and the whole second season of this happy little podcast! Listen for a highlight reel of lessons learned from Lorelai & Emily, Rory’s evolution, friendships, blow ups and break ups. 

I’m so blessed to share my heart with you here, online, and in my life, sweet friends. An introvert like me could never imagine that God would 1- give me a story worth sharing, and 2- grant me the courage and the space to share it. I’m just a girl figuring out life on a long and winding road, but I sure am glad that you’re here and enjoy walking it with me! We never know the story God is writing with our lives. Thanks for letting me be a part of yours, one episode at a time. <3

The Goodness & Grace Podcast helps women see and celebrate God’s goodness in their lives! No toxic positivity here- just honest, uplifting words. We cling to God’s promises in all seasons, trust His faithfulness and provision, and enjoy cozy things we love! Goodness is here, and grace is for us- always!

Breakups, blowups, and "what ifs"—they make for great drama on TV, but how do we navigate life when things don’t go as planned?

In this episode, we reflect on Psalm 121, the Gilmore Girls’ infamous vowel renewal, and what it means to trust God in the midst of uncertainty. When dreams slip through our fingers, we can rest in the One who holds it all together.
