With the recent news about Rebecca King-Crews’ Parkinson’s diagnosis, we wanted to bring back this conversation, because it’s exactly what she’s always been about: hope, faith, and real strength. In this episode, Rebecca shares her journey through breast cancer, the power of listening to your intuition, and how she leaned into faith instead of fear. From advocating for her own health to navigating life, marriage, and healing, her perspective is grounded, honest, and incredibly uplifting. This isn’t a heavy listen… it’s a reminder! That even in the hardest moments, there can still be peace. There can still be joy. And there is always a way forward. Sending Rebecca so much love, and we hope this episode meets you exactly where you are today.
