What if the moments that break us open could also awaken us to what matters most?

When life shatters our plans—through illness, loss, or sudden uncertainty—we often wonder how to keep moving forward. In Broken Open, award-winning journalist and former oncology nurse Barbara Mahany recounts the rare cancer diagnosis that reshaped her life and invited her to see the world differently. Through luminous storytelling and personal reflection, she explores

  • how illness and loss can generate appreciation for the sacred gift of time;
  • why wrestling with an uncertain future can deepen gratitude and compassion; and
  • practices for living with intention, tenderness, and wholehearted love.

Perfect for listeners navigating grief, illness, or disruption, Broken Open is a hopeful meditation on living with deeper faith and courage in the present moment.
