When Life Changes Your Timeline: A Story of Surviving Cancer, Healing & Advocacy Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Beth sits down with her dear friend Latoya (LT) for a deeply personal conversation about what happens when life changes your timeline in ways you never could have imagined.

At just 30 years old, Latoya was diagnosed with stage four rectal colon cancer shortly after losing her mother and becoming a guardian to her younger siblings. As she navigated an overwhelming season of treatment and uncertainty, she also faced something she never expected: having to think about her future fertility without receiving the guidance or support she needed to preserve her options.

Today, Latoya is navigating early menopause and a challenging fertility journey while continuing to hold onto hope. She opens up about the emotional realities of everything she has experienced, the importance of advocating for yourself, and learning to care for your health while still making space for the life you want.

Through it all, Latoya has continued to build a life rooted in purpose and passion. She shares how dance movement therapy became an important part of her journey and how she is now pursuing that passion through her business, H.Y.P.E. Wellness.

This is a conversation about resilience, fertility, grief, health, hope, and finding your way when life doesn't follow the timeline you imagined.

Latoya's message is one Beth hopes everyone hears: advocate for yourself, ask questions, and don't be afraid to speak up for the care you deserve.

Are You Choosing Your Life or Following a Timeline? Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

What happens when the life you imagined for yourself doesn't unfold on the timeline you expected?

In this deeply personal conversation, Beth sits down with licensed mental health counselor Anne Sandefur, JD, EdM, LMHC, to talk about her decision to freeze her eggs at 34 and everything that came with it. Anne opens up about the emotional, physical, and mental realities of the experience, from the uncertainty and financial stress to anger, grief, gratitude, and the complicated feelings that can come with making a decision about your future before you know what that future will look like.

Together, Beth and Anne explore the pressures women face to have their careers, relationships, marriage, and children figured out by a certain age, and how those expectations can quietly shape the choices we make. They talk about dating, comparison, the fear of running out of time, and the challenge of separating what you truly want from what you feel you're supposed to want.

Most importantly, this conversation is about learning to meet yourself where you are. Beth and Anne discuss the power of self-compassion, finding people who can support you without judgment, letting go of comparison, and remembering that there is no single timeline for building a meaningful life.

Anne's story is not about having all the answers. It's about making space for uncertainty, owning your choices, and learning to trust yourself along the way.
