Shownotes

In this deeply personal episode of the Dream Small Podcast, Jason and Whitney discuss the unexpected day that changed everything - the day Whitney was diagnosed with cancer. Whitney walks through what she felt, how she told Jason, what it was like to hear the word carcinoma, and how faith held her through moments of fear, confusion, and waiting.

From navigating biopsies and PET scans to wrestling with the “unknowns,” Whitney shares openly about being a mom of seven in the middle of a cancer diagnosis—and how God met her in the middle of it. This episode is raw, real, emotional, and full of hope.

Whether you’re walking through cancer, supporting someone who is, or simply need encouragement for your own difficult season, this episode will remind you that God is present even in the waiting—and that small steps of faith matter, even on the hardest days.
