Episode Notes

What do you do when your life changes with a single diagnosis? How do you explain cancer to your children—when you're still processing it yourself? What happens to your creativity, your identity, your faith, when everything is stripped down to survival?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I sit down with artist and creative force Laura Stewart of Unseen Forces Creative to explore the raw, transformative journey she’s walked since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. We talk about the early days of her diagnosis, the moment she chose to shave her head, and the impact it had on her family. She shares how she chose to embrace cancer and fully LIVE. 

Laura shares how her artistic life evolved through the pain and what she held onto when everything felt uncertain. We also reflect on our creative collaborations and how she finds meaning and alignment in the projects she chooses.

Whether you’re navigating your own diagnosis or supporting someone through theirs, Laura’s wisdom offers comfort, clarity, and hope.
