Telling your family you have cancer might be the hardest conversation of your life.
Joelle Kaufman has lived it — as both the child of a survivor and a parent with cancer.

When Joelle found out she had cancer, she had to tell her three kids — ages 21, 19, and 15 — and then her parents, including her mom, a 43-year survivor. In this raw, heartfelt episode, Joelle shares the real conversation, what she learned, and how love and strength show up in unexpected ways.

You’ll discover:

• What to say (and what not to say) when sharing your diagnosis
• Why you can’t protect your family from their emotions — and shouldn’t try
• How to stay present, honest, and connected, even through fear
• The truth that every reaction — even tears — is love in motion

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or supporting someone who is, this episode will remind you that cancer may be in the room, but it does not get to take your power.
