How One Act of Kindness Sparked a Movement for Breast Cancer Recovery (Ep. 22)

August 20, 2025

When Katelynn Devinney’s mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, a simple sweatshirt with inside pockets for post-surgical drainage tubes changed her recovery and inspired a mission.

In this heartfelt episode, Brendon Murphy speaks with Katelynn about how that one moment became Pockets of Hope, a nonprofit providing comfort and care to women healing from mastectomies. What started as a sewing project between friends has grown into a nationwide effort, supported by volunteers, small businesses, and survivors themselves. You’ll hear how Katelynn’s community came together, how her mom’s strength fueled the vision, and why something as simple as a pocket can mean so much during recovery.

What to expect in this episode:

  • The origin story behind Pockets of Hope and Katelynn’s personal connection
  • How the nonprofit provides specialty sweatshirts for post-mastectomy care
  • Why small gestures of support matter more than we realize
  • How to donate, volunteer, or refer someone in need of support
