ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, our guest Sharon, from Scotland, shares her powerful journey of overcoming stage 3 ovarian cancer. After a difficult experience with chemotherapy, Sharon turned to cannabis oil—and believes it played a key role in her survival. Now cancer-free and devoted to helping others, she opens up about the stigma, the scams, the healing, and the deeper personal transformation that followed.
