In this deeply moving episode of Unmasking the Heart for Change, host Tammy Winstead sits down with Mississippi County’s very own warrior and woman of unwavering hope—Laura Fletcher. Diagnosed with cancer multiple times since 2008, Laura’s story is not just one of survival, but of fierce advocacy, radical joy, and local impact.
Laura opens up about life after her diagnosis, her humorous (and healing) approach to end-of-life planning, and how Team Laura and the Cooking For A Cure nonprofit are transforming grief into powerful acts of service for cancer warriors in our community.
From heartfelt stories to laugh-out-loud funeral requests, this episode will leave you inspired to live more intentionally and love more deeply.
