  • Doing Hard Things- with Jaclyn Johnson

    Doing Hard Things- with Jaclyn Johnson
    Jan 22 2026
    “Just living life…with cancer in my body.” That line stopped us cold. Jaclyn Johnson joins us—an accomplished, driven woman used to building, leading, and powering through. Then cancer entered her body and upended everything. In this conversation, she shares what it was like to keep doing life as usual while carrying a diagnosis she didn’t choose—and how cancer forced her to reckon with uncertainty, fear, and a loss of control she couldn’t outwork or outmaneuver. We talk about:- the mental weight of carrying cancer while still showing up- the statistic that still shocks us: 1 in 8 women- the moment she realized, “I can do hard things.” This episode is real. It’s raw. It’s empowering.And it might be exactly what you needed today. Have an episode idea?

  • We Got This (Literally): Gifts, Grit & Living Fully with Stage 4

    We Got This (Literally): Gifts, Grit & Living Fully with Stage 4
    Dec 24 2025
    Chris and Jenni are joined by Elissa Kalver, founder of WeGotThis.org—a genius, heart-filled platform that works like a gift registry, but for people navigating cancer (because no one actually needs 30 blankets). Elissa shares how and why she created We Got This: it takes the guesswork out of support— for patients who are overwhelmed and loved ones who want to help but don’t know how. The conversation also goes deeper, as Elissa opens up about living fully with stage 4 cancer, redefining support, and finding meaning, connection, and joy even in the hardest seasons. This episode is equal parts practical, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that none of us have to do this alone. Learn more about our guest! www.elissakalver.com www.wegotthis.org Follow the pod!
