When treatment ends and the world moves on, cancer survivors are often left alone with a flood of unprocessed emotions. Author and survivorship mentor Kia Lee sits down with Leah to explore the hidden emotional weight of life after cancer—and why healing isn’t about returning to the past.
In this conversation, Kia shares:
• Her diagnosis with stage III breast cancer at 38 and how it became a portal to a new way of living
• Why she wrote Lighthouse: The Path Through Cancer while undergoing chemo and how it started as a private reckoning with mortality
• The difference between survival mode during treatment and the inner work of healing afterward
• Practical tools for survivors: journaling, life audits, and reflection questions
• How to grieve the person you were before cancer and make space for who you’ve become
• Why Kia mentors exclusively women and the importance of lived experience in support
