Episode 7: Season 2. How can kinship and community support us in the most challenging times, such as when we suddenly face the cancer journey? Beth shares the story of how she and her community supported her fiance, Rick, as he went through cancer. Her guest is Margie Zohn, a leadership coach, who was a close friend in those times. They share stories of how Rick brought humor and humanity into every hospital room and how caregiving can be a profound experience of love. As they reflect on how their community rallied in many creative ways, they show that opening to receive help allows people to be their most human and generous.
