Cancer, Chemo & Calling Bullsh*t with Wade Percy EP27
In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I sit down with my fellow coach and absolute powerhouse of a human, Wade Percy from Red Haven Coaching. This one’s real, raw, and tender in all the right ways. Wade shares the gut-wrenching story of supporting his wife through a surprise cancer diagnosis just after childbirth, navigating hospitals, chemo, and life as a brand-new dad with grace, grit, and unshakable commitment. We talk about the deep cracks in the medical system, how to hold compassion for healthcare workers and still advocate fiercely, and what it means to be a caregiver when your world is flipped upside down.
We also dive into the real-life homesteading they’re doing (hello, goat milk and 75-foot tomato plants!) and how their healing journey led them to ditch toxic food, chemicals, and even belief systems. This episode is a love letter to resilience, real food, human grace, and the often-overlooked warriors behind the scenes.
If you’re a caregiver, know one, or love a good story about rising strong — this one’s for you.
