In this episode, we circle back to the cliffhanger from a previous conversation—the irregular mammogram. This time, there’s no more waiting or wondering. Caley shares openly about receiving her breast cancer diagnosis, what type it is, and the plan moving forward. Though the topic is heavy, the conversation is honest and surprisingly lighthearted, because perspective makes all the difference.

We talk about how uncomfortable moments are woven into life, and how learning to sit with that discomfort can actually lead to joy. We remind ourselves (and you) that attitude is everything when facing adversity, and that showing up with courage and humor is always an option. With nearly 40% of people facing cancer at some point in their lives, our goal isn’t to make it “normal,” but to empower you to take care of your mental and emotional health if cancer affects your family.

This week, we’re sitting down with Mallory—a hairdresser turned spiritual guide—whose journey is nothing short of transformational. For years, she lived in the world of external beauty, helping women feel confident in the mirror. But five years ago, Mallory took a leap into something deeper: the path of spiritual awakening.

From sitting with a full-on spiritual teacher to exploring modalities like Reiki, tarot, and mediumship, Mallory has embraced the inner work that changed her life. Her ultimate mission? To merge the worlds of external beauty and internal healing—so that when someone leaves her chair, they don’t just look amazing, they feel it in their soul.

Whether you’re curious about spiritual practices or just wondering what it means to start “waking up,” Mallory offers both inspiration and a dose of exposure therapy for anyone who hasn’t yet dipped their toes in the woo-woo waters.

We love bringing in voices from the next generation, and this week’s conversation with Olivia is one you don’t want to miss.

As a college student, daughter, and friend, she opens up about being diagnosed with diabetes in eighth grade — and later with celiac — and what it was really like to manage both as a teenager.

Between the comical missteps and the tough realities, Olivia’s story shines a light on resilience, grief, and the strength of the mother-daughter bond.

Toward the end, Olivia drops wisdom that hits like a freight train — raw, real, and impossible to forget. It’s the moment that cracked us wide open (yes, tears were shed), and it’s the reason you need to stick with this conversation until the very last minute. Honest. Unfiltered. Absolutely worth it.
