Listen "Episode 8: The Mid-Rise"
Episode Synopsis
In this pivotal mid-season episode, award-winning author Tracy Lance steps back to reflect on the powerful stories shared so far — the trauma, the resilience, the loss, the survival, and the unbreakable spirit behind every guest.From Cassandra’s lifelong battles and hard-won healing to Kristen’s heartbreaking journey through stillbirth and suicide loss, Tracy revisits the emotional landscapes that have shaped the season. With honesty and clarity, she explores the threads that connect them all: courage, vulnerability, and the choice to rise even when life tries to break you.This “mid rise” moment is more than a recap, it’s a pause to breathe, to honor every woman’s story, and to acknowledge the climb still ahead. Tracy offers her own reflections, lessons, and the deeper meaning behind the paths crossed so far, setting the stage for the transformative second half of the season.
