About Talaya Dendy:2025 Bush Fellow | Founder Cancer Doula, Guide, & Advocate | Cancer Thriver | Founder “Survivor Series” |🎙️Podcast Host of Navigating Cancer TOGETHER | Survivorship Expert | Motivational Speaker

About this episode:

If you’ve never heard of a “cancer doula,” you’re not alone. Talaya Dendy pioneered this role to walk beside patients and families with practical guidance, emotional steadiness, and informed advocacy, from appointments and decisions to the unseen moments in between. Talaya’s work bridges the gap between what we’re told and what we need to carry it, honoring culture, identity, and the realities so many of us face along the way.

Though we spoke a while ago, I held this episode especially for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, as it is one of the closest to my heart, and one that truly fed my soul. So, this is an invitation to anyone navigating diagnosis, treatment, or survivorship, especially our sisters and brothers who’ve carried more than their share up until this moment. I left the conversation truly changed; with deeper gratitude and a renewed commitment to reclaim the pieces of myself that healing asked me to hide. I’m sharing it with you because It will meet you with purpose and grace, exactly where you are. Listen in, and if it resonates, pass it to someone who needs this kind of support right now.
