S1 Episode 12 – The Miracle that is Kit Stapely

In this deeply moving finale to Season 1, Karen and Rosy are joined by the radiant and courageous Kit Stapeley, a woman who has survived multiple cancer diagnoses and turned her healing journey into a life of laughter, purpose, and inspiration.

Kit opens up about her decades-long experience with cancer, beginning in 1992, and the powerful decision to become the "captain of her own ship." She speaks candidly about facing surgeries, near-death experiences, spiritual awakenings, and radical healing. With honesty, irreverence, and humour, she reminds us that healing is not just physical – it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal.

We explore the power of choosing life, the importance of emotional expression, the surprising role of laughter, and the impact of food, boundaries, purpose and love in Kit’s survival story. This is not just a conversation about cancer. It’s a raw, soulful, and uplifting dialogue about what it means to truly live.
