Kickin' Cancer Cares

Prysm iO

In this second half of the Kickin’ Cancer Care Show, Vanessa Rutherford shares how her journey with her son Cordell has come full circle, guiding her through various medical fields and leading her toward her passion for whole-body wellness. Through her experiences, Vanessa is working toward building her own clinic focused on educating people on nutrition, lifestyle, and caring for the body as a whole. She also introduces Prysm iO, a portable, non-invasive wellness device that measures skin carotenoid levels, an indicator of antioxidant and nutritional health, in under 15 seconds using LED-based spectral technology. This segment highlights how personal healing journeys can inspire innovative approaches to long-term wellness and prevention.

Honoring Cordell Rutherford

In this episode of the Kickin’ Cancer Care Show, Vanessa Rutherford, mother of Cordell Rutherford, shares the story of his remarkable cancer journey that began at just nine months old, when he was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma. Now 16 years old and cancer-free, Cordell’s story is a powerful reminder of resilience, hope, and the strength behind every fight.v

Intuitive Healing

In Part 2 of our conversation, we dive deeper into intuitive healing and what it truly means. Chrystal explains that intuitive healing is more than Reiki, walking us through how Reiki works, the role of sound baths, and how tapping into energy and frequency supports emotional and physical balance. She also explores deeper healing through inner child work, addressing where trauma often begins and how unhealed experiences can show up later in life. While traditional therapy plays an important role, Chrystal shares how intuitive healing offers another layer of support by helping individuals reconnect with themselves at the root and create space for lasting healing.

Guided to Intuitive Healing

Today on Kicking Cancer Cares Show, we are joined by Chrystal Hart-Meeker, an intuitive healing guide and Reiki practitioner who helps women release emotional weight, find inner clarity, and reconnect with their bodies through restorative and transformational practices. We start this episode with Chrystal sharing what guided her to intuitive healing and the path that led her to this work. She brings insight into how intuitive healing supports not just emotional health, but whole-person wellness as we begin this new year.

Kicking Cancer 2026

In Part 2, we continue the conversation and carry the momentum forward into 2026. Building on the GO-Teams, honorees, and events from 2025, we look ahead at what is coming next. We discuss new goals, expansion into more communities, broader outreach, and a stronger commitment to helping those who reach out to Kicking Cancer for support. 2026 represents growth, bigger opportunities, and a clearer mission to fund, guide, and stand with more families than ever before.
