MBSFood: If Joan of Arc Had Cancer with Author Janet Roseman

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the perfect time to team with breast cancer survivor and thriver, Rev. Sensei Subira Folami to co-host a show of hope and healing for cancer.

When Dr. Janet Roseman read the transcript of Joan of Arc's trials, she realized that this beloved heroine had much to offer those fighting cancer--women patients especially. In addition to her fierce faith, the fifteenth-century teenager faced her incredible challenges with remarkable fortitude, moxie, and even humor. In her book, If Joan of Arc Had Cancer: Finding Courage, Faith, and Healing from History's Most Inspirational Woman Warrior, Dr. Roseman uses Joan's words and experiences to help readers access their own innate courage and reclaim their personal power. It is not just a book for those with or who have experienced cancer, but it also offers support for family and friends, therapists, doctors, nurses, and anyone affected by a loved one's diagnosis. Tune in as we discuss the importance of compassion in the healing equation, how to maintain personal power in the face of serious illness, how to create an "army of support" for getting through a health crisis, and more!
