Finding Joy in the Cancer Journey

with Rita Villanueva, Michael Wiesenthal, and Stephen Brown

What does it mean to find joy after a cancer diagnosis? Not just once treatment ends, but in the middle of the journey, when life feels uncertain, when everything has changed, and when hope feels fragile. In this special episode, we revisit moments from past guests who shared how they rediscovered joy in the most unexpected ways. Through movement, laughter, community, and quiet moments of gratitude, each story is a reminder that joy is not something we wait for. It is something we can choose, create, and reclaim. You will hear reflections from: Rita Villanueva, a breast cancer survivor who brings love and laughter into every room she enters. Michael Wiesenthal, who found purpose and strength by supporting others through their cancer journeys. Stephen Brown, whose guiding principles of movement, service, and positivity carried him through. Their voices are different, but the message is the same: joy often lives in the smallest moments, and it is in those moments that hope begins to grow.
