000: TEST PODCAST FOR WEBSITE: Maria Denise Talks Boss Babes and Bacon




Podcast Intro

In this conversation, I chat with Alexis Toller, a breast cancer survivor and soon-to-be published author who’s lived through the unimaginable—and still found a way to stand in light. Alexis Toller walks us through her personal breast cancer journey, from the shock of diagnosis to the quiet victories of recovery, and everything in between.


She opens up about what it meant to advocate for herself, navigate the deeply emotional decisions around surgery, and keep a positive outlook when the road ahead felt uncertain. We talk about the faith that carried her, the community that held her up, and how writing her upcoming book Strength in Scars became a form of healing all its own.


Alexis Toller has that rare gift of being both deeply real and deeply hopeful, and I left our conversation with a new appreciation for resilience, purpose, and the stories we carry in our bodies. Whether you’re in the fight, loving someone who is, or just in need of perspective—you’ll find strength in her words.
