Amanda sits down with Rhonda Payne to explore grief, resilience, caregiving, identity, and what it means to rebuild a life when everything changes.

Together, they talk about walking through a mother’s cancer journey, facing a diagnosis of her own, and how Rhonda transformed unimaginable loss into purpose — ultimately stepping away from corporate life to build something entirely her own.

This conversation is for anyone who is grieving, rebuilding, navigating uncertainty, or quietly asking themselves: what now?

In this episode of Who We Become, Amanda Lentz sits down with Liz Vasquez to explore what it means to keep living — and keep advocating — in the wake of profound loss. Together they talk about how grief can quietly become a calling, why the world doesn't stop for a cancer diagnosis, and what it looks like to turn a deeply painful chapter into a life's mission.

In this episode of Who We Become — Life Beyond Change, Amanda sits down with Matthew Zachary to explore survivorship, identity, advocacy, disruption, and what it means to keep becoming after a life-changing diagnosis.

Together, they talk about being diagnosed with a brain tumor at 21, losing the future he thought he was building as a concert pianist and composer, and how that rupture became the starting point for a completely different kind of purpose. Matthew shares how he turned pain into advocacy, built platforms that challenged outdated cancer narratives, and continues to push for a more honest, human-centered healthcare system.

This conversation is for anyone who has felt reshaped by diagnosis, frustrated by broken systems, or determined to turn hardship into something that helps the people coming next.

In this episode of Who We Become — Life Beyond Change, Amanda sits down with Erica Neubert Campbell to explore grief, identity, survivorship, and how women reclaim their power after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Together, they talk about the emotional weight of growing up with cancer already shaping her life after losing her mother to the disease, and how that history created years of anxiety leading up to her own diagnosis. Erica shares what it was like to receive the phone call confirming she had breast cancer, the loneliness that followed, and the difficult decisions she faced about treatment and surgery.

Through her journey, Erica transformed one deeply vulnerable moment — when a colleague showed her what life after a mastectomy could look like — into a mission to support other women facing the same unknowns. That moment ultimately inspired her to write her memoir, The Mastectomy I Always Wanted, a guide that offers honesty, reassurance, and practical insight for women navigating the decision and experience of mastectomy.

This conversation is for anyone who has faced a diagnosis that reshapes how they see themselves, anyone navigating life after loss, or anyone supporting someone they love through breast cancer.

When Megan-Claire Chase — known to many as Warrior Megsie — began experiencing symptoms, she spent more than two years fighting to be believed.

By the time she was finally diagnosed with Stage 2A invasive lobular breast cancer, the battle had already taken a deep emotional toll.

In this episode of Who We Become — Life Beyond Change, Amanda sits down with Megan-Claire to talk about what survivorship actually looks like after treatment ends — the trauma, the identity shifts, and the emotional realities that are rarely discussed openly.

They explore the anger and grief that can surface after cancer, the impact of infertility and surgical menopause, and the mental health challenges many survivors face — including PTSD, chronic pain, and depression.

Megan-Claire also shares how writing became her lifeline, why representation in clinical trials can be life-saving, and how she now uses her platform Warrior Megsie to advocate for survivors whose stories are often overlooked.

Recently selected as an ASCO Voices speaker, Megan-Claire continues to amplify the message that guides her work:

Every story matters.

This conversation is for anyone who has struggled to be believed in their health journey, anyone navigating life after cancer treatment, and anyone learning how to rebuild identity after life changes in ways they never expected.

Because survivorship isn’t just about living.

It’s about finding your voice again.

This conversation is about reclaiming identity, honoring resilience, and becoming whole again — one story, one scar, and one brave step at a time.
