ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The Unexpected Detour ❤️ was born from a journey through breast cancer — the detour that awakened the mission. What began as a personal path through fear, healing, survival, and faith has grown into a space where honest conversations about life’s unexpected turns can be shared openly and compassionately.
Though we lean into many different detours — emotional, spiritual, relational, health-related, and personal — we will never leave our humble beginnings behind. Breast cancer awareness, education, and survivorship remain a vital part of the heart of this platform.
