What if the real healing from cancer isn't solely focused on making the tumor disappear, but transforming the person carrying it?

When therapist Geneva Jacobs learned she had cancer, she remembered watching her mother go through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries at the same age. 

She knew she'd take a different path. That decision led her to a 29-day water fast that changed everything about who she is. 

Dr. Katie Deming guides you through Geneva’s story of profound transformation, where morning energy replaced exhaustion, introversion shifted to connection, and paralyzing fear dissolved into peace.
