Laura, who is living with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer, shares her personal journey of feeling like an outsider and how she found solace and joy by connecting with others who truly understand her struggles.

She highlights the healing power of community support and how it can transform the post-diagnosis life into something vibrant and fulfilling. This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone feeling isolated after a breast cancer diagnosis.
