What happens when you follow your heart with your content (even when you don’t know where it will lead)? 

Magic!

About the Podcast

Courageous
Honest conversations and smart strategy for rebuilding a bold life, brand, or business — even when speaking up comes at a cost. Hosted by Janet Murray.
This is not a cancer podcast.

It’s about what happens when your voice is threatened - by illness, by public shaming, by fear - and you decide to keep speaking anyway.

In 2025, I was diagnosed with breast cancer while navigating public cancellation for defending women’s sex-based rights. Now I’m documenting the rebuild: of my health, my business, and my voice - with honesty, strategy and as much courage as I can muster.
