Julee and Stacey's podcast is a raw, honest, and deeply personal exploration of navigating life after addiction, breast cancer, and the complicated realities that come with both. Through heartfelt conversations, personal reflections, and unfiltered storytelling, they offer listeners an inside look at the challenges they faced, the lessons they learned, and the small victories that carried them through. But this isn’t just a survival story — it’s a guidebook for anyone who finds themselves fighting battles they never expected. It's about advocacy, self-advocacy, sisterhood, and what it truly means to rebuild a life after trauma. Without glossing over the hard parts, Julee and Stacey show that healing is messy, imperfect, and absolutely worth fighting for. Listeners come away not just with inspiration, but with real-world insights into surviving, thriving, and finding meaning through adversity.© 2025 Enfermedades Físicas Higiene y Vida Saludable
