Send us Fan MailThere are moments in life when everything changes with one phone call… one word… one sentence that splits your world in two.For Courtney Trombka, that moment came on July 4th, 2019, when she heard the words, “You have a rare type of leukemia.” At just thirty years old, with two young children depending on her, her life suddenly became a storm she never asked to sail through.But Courtney’s story is not just about cancer. It’s about survival. It’s about faith. It’s about what happens when a woman refuses to sink, even when life keeps sending wave after wave against her spirit.A member of the You Night FIGHT CLUB Class of 2025, Courtney has faced leukemia, heartbreak, loss, and now prepares for a second brain surgery with a courage that is both breathtaking and deeply human. Through every battle, she has carried prayer like an anchor and hope like a lantern in the dark.Today, she shares a story of resilience, motherhood, vulnerability, and discovering that sometimes the very thing meant to destroy you can awaken you to life in a way nothing else ever could.This is not just a story about surviving cancer. This is a story about rebuilding a soul. About finding beauty after devastation. About learning to rise… again and again… no matter how fierce the storm.Please welcome my guest, Courtney Trombka.Support the showStill I Rise features stories from You Night's STORY CRAFTING COMMUNITY.  To read additional stories, visit our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/YouNightStories.  Would you like to participate in a 6-week Story Crafting small group experience so that you can share your story?  Write to us at [email protected]
