    In this powerful and deeply human conversation, I sit down with Amy Brace, a breast cancer survivor, and Jacquelyn Vranicar, a stage 4 metastatic breast cancer thriver. Though their journeys look different, they share the unfortunate common thread of breast cancer—and together, they’ve transformed their experiences into something bigger than themselves.

Their stories are honest, raw, and filled with insights that every listener can take to heart. From the moment of diagnosis, to the ways people showed up—or didn’t—to how they feel now, this conversation is about awareness, resilience, and creating better systems of support. We also talk about: Why regular self-exams and mammograms are so critical.The urgent need for more funding and research for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.How Jacquelyn’s nonprofit, Vrancure, is making a difference in this fight.What true support looks like when someone you love is diagnosed.

    The Truth Will Set You Free with Kate Lasher

    In this powerful and vulnerable episode of A Common Thread, Amy reconnects with former colleague and friend Kate Lasher. The two met when Amy hired Kate to help build a new business function at her last corporate job — a chapter of their lives marked by shared professional trauma that they never fully unpacked… until now. For the first time in seven years, Amy and Kate dive into the emotional residue of that experience, including the guilt Amy carried for not recognizing what Kate was going through behind the scenes. But this episode goes far beyond the workplace. Kate opens up about her journey of self-discovery — coming out as a lesbian at 30, after years of trying to convince herself that everything in her marriage to a man was “fine,” even though something felt deeply off. This is a conversation about truth, courage, and what it means to stop going through the motions of a life you think you "should" live and start living life fully aligned with who you are. If you’ve ever felt like you were hiding parts of yourself or wondering what might happen if you stopped pretending and started telling the truth — to yourself and to others — this episode is for you.
