On this episode of The Real Me Podcast, I'm honored to introduce you to a true superhero, Amara Strande.

Imagine being a passionate musician with dreams of a professional career, only to be diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer at the age of 15. Amara shares her profound journey of battling a cancer believed to be linked to "forever chemicals" in her community's water supply.

This is a story of unimaginable challenges, unwavering determination, and the sheer power of the human spirit. In her final months, Amara chose to use her voice not just for music, but to advocate for change, testifying before the Minnesota legislature to protect others from the same fate. How does someone facing their own mortality find the strength to fight for a future she knew she would not see? You have to listen to believe the incredible impact of her advocacy, which led to the passage of "Amara's Law," and the enduring power of her voice.
