49 // From Cancer Free to Fighting Again: Dakota’s Story

October 27, 2025 • Renee Chagoury & Tiana Brownrigg • Season 2 • Episode 35

In this special Breast Cancer Awareness Month episode, we chat with Dakota, who, at just 29, was told she was cancer-free only five weeks before finding out the cancer had returned and spread to her brain. She opens up about the shock of a second diagnosis, navigating fear and uncertainty, and the strength it takes to keep choosing light and joy through it all. Dakota is the brightest beam of positivity, and her story is one that will stay with you long after listening.
