Still I Rise Podcast
Real stories. Raw truth. Unshakable hope.
Hosted by Lisa McKenzie, founder of You Night Empowering Events, The Still I Rise Podcast is a powerful, heartfelt series that shares the voices of women who have fought — or are still fighting — cancer, and the transformative journeys they’ve taken to reclaim joy, identity, and purpose.
Each episode highlights inspiring survivor stories, candid conversations with mental health experts, and uplifting insights for anyone facing life after diagnosis. We dive deep into the emotional, spiritual, and psychological layers of healing — reminding every woman that she’s not alone, and that her story matters.

Still I Rise Podcast
"Dance in the Rain, Stomp in the Mud!" by Vicky Talley
An excerpt from Vicky''s story:
"As life moves on, sunshine is starting to peek through those clouds again. I have overcome four surgeries. The scars I have now are not because I'm damaged; they are trophies of what I’ve overcome. I am not ashamed of them; they are the story of my journey. I had to learn to trust people and depend on others, something that, if you know me, was very difficult. My son is engaged, and the wedding will be this year. I am looking forward to many grandchildren.
Trust in others. Be an inspiration. Share your story. Be the warrior that is inside of you for yourself andyour family. Find your JOY! Don’t let the clouds hide your rays of sunshine, and never forget to dance in the rain and stomp in the mud.
