from The Goodness and Grace Podcast · host Caitlan Reese Killian

What if the story you’re living could become a source of healing- not just for you, but for others too? In this episode, we talk with April Stearns, writer and editor of Wildfire Magazine, to talk about the transformative power of storytelling, amplifying MBC voices, and how we can contribute to the healing our world needs!Meet April:April Stearns was diagnosed at 35 years old with Stage 3 breast cancer that she found while breastfeeding her daughter. Four years later, while struggling to “go back to normal” and find other young(er) people in similar circumstances, April launched Wildfire Magazine. Now she enjoys not only publishing the stories of those “too young for breast cancer,” she also finds pleasure in helping others heal through learning to write and share their stories. Wildfire provides a bi-monthly narrative magazine, weekly podcast, and small-group writing workshops for women diagnosed under the age of 50. Wildfire believes in the healing power of storytelling, turning a traumatic cancer experience into an empowering one!
