In this deeply personal solo episode, Arvia opens up about the moments that shaped her marriage, her resilience, and her gratitude for partnership.
Just one year into marriage and pregnant with her daughter, Bradlee, Arvia’s father came to live with her and Jason after being diagnosed with lung cancer and given only six months to live. He went on to live for sixteen months, a season that was both challenging and profoundly transformative.
Years later, Arvia faced her own diagnosis: breast cancer at 40. She shares the journey of undergoing a double mastectomy, the strength it demanded, and the unwavering support she received from Jason every step of the way.
This episode is a reminder that life will test us in ways we can’t predict, but having a partner who stands by your side through it all is a true blessing. Arvia’s story is a powerful testament to love, endurance, and the beauty of choosing someone who chooses you back when life gets hard.
