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.
Whether you're navigating cancer, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking inspiration and sisterhood, this podcast is for you.

Welcome back to Still I Rise… and to Day 2 of our 100th episode celebration.
If you joined us yesterday, you know this isn’t just one episode—it’s a four-part series honoring the voices, the moments, and the people who have helped shape this journey.
One hundred episodes in, and the stories just keep getting richer… the connections deeper… and the impact even more meaningful.
Today, we continue that celebration with two more incredible women who have played a powerful role in what we do.
You’ll hear from our Runway Coach, Leslie Legania-Shelby, and Photographer, Tracie Morris Schaefer—two women who don’t just show up… they help bring confidence, beauty, and transformation to life in ways that leave a lasting mark on every woman they touch.
They’re sharing their favorite memories, what they’ve witnessed, and what they’ve learned along the way—about strength, resilience, and what it truly means to rise.
Because this journey is built on moments like these… and people like them.
So let’s continue the celebration.
