No Good Book for This: Cara Lockwood’s Breast Cancer Journey

What happens when a routine mammogram flips your whole life upside down?

In this episode, USA Today bestselling romance author Cara Lockwood shares how an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis collided with raising five kids, money stress, and a daughter battling depression, along with how humor, F-bombs, and radical honesty became her lifelines. We talk early detection, why you must get that mammogram, how laughter can coexist with fear, and why real conversations and community are non-negotiable for both cancer and mental health. If you or someone you love is walking through cancer or a hard season, this one will make you feel seen, less alone, and a lot more hopeful. 💗
