Your life can change in an instant. That instant can last forever.

Hey, I’m Callie.

At 37, my life flipped upside down—I was diagnosed with stage IV double expressor lymphoma. One day, I was chasing dreams, and the next, I was in the fight of my life. What was supposed to be a “pause” turned into a relentless three-year battle against aggressive cancer. Chemo, intrathecal chemo, more chemo, radiation, CAR T-cell transplant… I stopped counting when my MyChart hit 400 test results.

But surviving wasn’t just about getting through treatment—it meant facing a whole new reality. I lost my career, my independence, and my fertility. My body didn’t feel like mine anymore. The fearless entrepreneur who thrived on risk and adventure? Gone. I was exhausted, grieving the life I once had, and trying to build a new one—all while still sick and completely unprepared.

That’s why I created this space—to be the resource I wish I had. Because let’s be real, navigating cancer as a young adult is lonely as hell. The system wasn’t built for us. We’re not just trying to survive; we’re trying to rebuild careers, relationships, and futures, all while managing the chaos cancer leaves behind.

I talk about the things no one prepares you for—the trauma, the healing, and that weird in-between where you're technically in remission but still feel like a mess. I believe in blending both traditional and alternative health because real wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all (or shall I say one-side-fits-all). More than anything, I want this space to be a community that empowers cancer survivors to move past the trauma and into a state of growth.

So if you’re here—whether you’re in the fight, on the other side, or just trying to make sense of it all—welcome. You’re not alone in this.
