Real people. Real diagnoses. Real breakthroughs. No script.
Everyone remembers where they were when the news came. The doctor’s pause before speaking. The word that changed everything: cancer. Stroke. Heart failure. Terminal. In that moment, life splits into two parts: before, and after.
Each episode, host Rodney Folmar, Sr., a two-time open heart surgery survivor and prostate cancer survivor, sits down with people who have walked through the fire and come out the other side. They talk about the diagnosis that shook them, the fear that kept them up at night, the pain few people saw, and the turning point that brought them back.
Some were healed by medicine, through skilled surgeons, new treatments, and dedicated care teams. Some were carried by faith and prayer when the odds said otherwise. And some can’t fully explain what happened. They only know they’re still here to tell it.
Every story is different
MORE THAN A PODCAST
For guests, telling their story out loud is often part of the healing. For listeners, it’s a lifeline. You’ll hear what questions to ask, what warning signs to watch for, how families held together, and what got people through the hardest days. Healthcare professionals join the conversation too, adding clear, practical insight so you leave both inspired and better informed.
THIS IS YOUR STORY TOO
Nobody gets through life untouched by illness. If it isn’t you, it’s your mother, your neighbor, the coworker down the hall, or the friend who stopped returning calls because they didn’t know how to say it. These conversations are for all of them, and for you.
