A year of back-to-back losses can stop a life’s wheel from turning. After losing Laura to breast cancer and Pearl to lung cancer, I share how grief collided with art, why my body forced hard boundaries, and how a doctor’s warning reframed love, funerals, and the right to heal. This is a candid account of breaking down, learning to breathe again, and slowly rebuilding a creative practice—one verse at a time—until an EP became an album that honors memory without staying trapped in it.

I talk about Asleep at the Will as both title and truth: when the wheel jams, faith and community can help it turn again. I open up about studio days that ended in tears, the moments that finally held steady, and the way Lora’s presence still sits in the room ³while the producer tweaks the mix. Along the way, we celebrate the power of testimony: my niece’s brave story about depression, an artist’s journey, and even an animal rescue advocate whose work reminds us compassion is a discipline. Those voices have reached more ears than I ever expected, proving that honest stories travel far.

This show is audio-only by design. I grew up on radio, and I want attention on voice, not visuals—something you can take to work, on a drive, or on a walk. No paywall to listen. Following is free and keeps you close to new episodes on breast cancer awareness, lung cancer advocacy, mental health, and the everyday acts that help us keep going. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs courage today, and leave a review to help these stories find the next person who’s ready to speak up.
