In this episode, we sit down with Steve McDonnell—a gifted tattoo artist and devoted dad—who takes us inside his raw and emotional journey of fighting for his life while trying to show up for his newborn daughter and blended family.
Steve shares how joy and fear collided when the excitement of expecting a child was overshadowed by devastating news, multiple surgeries, and brutal rounds of chemotherapy. From the indescribable pain of treatment to the guilt of missing out on precious moments, Steve opens up about the mental, physical, and emotional toll that cancer took on him—and how he found strength to keep going.
This isn’t just a story about illness—it’s about resilience, fatherhood, and the hidden battles men face when they feel they must stay strong for everyone else. Steve’s story shines a light on men’s mental health, the importance of speaking up, and the quiet courage it takes to fight both inner demons and life-threatening challenges.
