Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and breast cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge joins Sarah for a deeply personal conversation about the power of resilience and reinvention. Melissa talks about how a women's soccer team helped her get discovered, why she had to re-record her very first album, and how her cancer battle transformed her approach to life and advocacy. Beyond the diagnosis, she shares her ongoing passion for empowering women — including her vocal support of women’s sports, from championing equal pay to performing at key moments in the rise of women's soccer. This episode is a tribute to living boldly, loving deeply, and refusing to be defined by a diagnosis.
