Braving Life’s Hardest Chapters with Vicki Cable
What happens when life changes in a moment and then asks you to begin again?
In this episode of It Just Takes One, Kelli talks with Vicki Cable, author of Braving the Journey: Raising Above Life’s Challenges. As a two-time cancer survivor, Vicki knows what it feels like to face fear, uncertainty, and the difficult process of finding your way back to life after treatment.
Vicki shares how her experiences led her to write a book that feels like a conversation with a friend who understands the hard days. Her message is honest without losing hope. She talks about the role faith played in her life, the importance of laughter, and the people who helped remind her that she didn’t have to face everything alone.
The conversation also explores what comes after survival. Vicki explains that finishing treatment doesn’t always mean everything immediately returns to normal. Healing can include learning to trust your body again, creating a new vision for your life, and deciding how you want to use what you’ve lived through.
Her career as a teacher, coach, and school administrator prepared her to encourage others long before she knew where her own story would lead. Today, she works with people affected by cancer through Hopeful Horizons Cancer Coaching, helping them move toward a future filled with purpose and possibility.
This episode isn’t only for someone who has faced cancer. It’s for anyone who has received news they never expected, walked through a hard season, or wondered how to take the next step when the road ahead feels uncertain.
Listen in for a conversation filled with heart, humor, and the reminder that even during life’s darkest chapters, your story is still being written.
