Episode description and notes

Noelle Cablay A deeply honest, literary memoir about facing a rare cancer and making meaning when life breaks open. I'm an author, musician, and university professor who wrote Washed in Blue after facing a rare cancer diagnosis. In the book, I not only share my lived experience but also explore the realities of treatment, offering a clear and honest look at what patients actually go through. My work brings together emotional honesty, thoughtful reflection, and a faith-informed perspective to examine the mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions of illness. I'm especially interested in conversations that move beyond surface-level inspiration and get into the real work of making meaning out of difficult experiences, something I've spent much of my life both living and teaching.
