Episode 7 - In Charge of my Attitude

Season 2 - Episode 1 - Full Circle: Teacher, Student, Storytellers

Some people come into your life for a season… and some come back in ways you never could have imagined. Today’s guest was once Jodi's teacher — and years later became co-author, helping tell her story of her life in the middle of my cancer journey. He’s an author, journalist, teacher, and storyteller — but more than that, he’s someone who truly listened. We are so grateful to welcome James DeFilippi. This episode explores how a high school connection turned into a powerful collaboration, capturing a journey through cancer with honesty, heart, and helping others. More than writing a book, this conversation is about trust, perspective, inspiration, and what happens when life brings people back together for a greater purpose.
