What happens when your life changes in a way you never expected — and you have to find the strength to keep moving forward?
In Episode 67 of The Middle Child Podcast, Royal Boles sits down with Cherelle Hines for a deeply personal conversation about being diagnosed with breast cancer at 30, keeping her diagnosis to herself, navigating treatment, rebuilding her confidence, and learning what resilience really looks like.
Cherelle opens up about the emotional side of her breast cancer journey — not just the physical changes, but the fear, the silence, the impact on her family, and the process of finding herself again.
But her story didn't end with cancer.
After going through her own journey, Cherelle wanted to create something for other people facing difficult seasons. That led to Runway of Resilience, an event created to celebrate people affected by breast cancer, provide support, encourage confidence, and remind people that they are more than what they've been through.
The conversation also takes an unexpected turn into lingerie, confidence, and self-worth.
Cherelle talks about her lingerie business and why it's about much more than selling lingerie. She wants women to feel comfortable in their bodies, recognize their beauty, understand what works for their individual bodies, and feel confident for themselves — not for someone else.
She also shares lessons she's learned about business, knowing her worth, advocating for yourself, self-care, resilience, and refusing to give up on your dreams.
This is a conversation about breast cancer, resilience, confidence, women's health, self-love, entrepreneurship, advocacy, and continuing to push forward even when life gets hard.
Sometimes the strongest battles are the ones nobody sees.
And sometimes the person fighting in silence becomes the person who helps someone else find their strength.
