EPISODE NO. 11


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



Podcast Intro

In this conversation, I chat with Senita Hill, a vibrant nonprofit founder who knows firsthand what it means to walk through a cancer journey and come out with a calling. Her experience inspired Peace on Patuxent, a beautiful nonprofit based in Laurel, Maryland, that hosts retreats for women navigating the emotional and physical toll of cancer.


Senita shares how her vision grew from a place of personal healing into a full-fledged mission to make sure no woman ever feels alone in her diagnosis. We talk through the challenges of starting a nonprofit, the importance of accessible care (yes, including transportation!), and why community support is just as vital as medical treatment.

She’s got that soulful mix of wisdom and heart, and our conversation dives into everything from nonprofit funding to why every woman—no matter her background—deserves to feel like a queen. I left this episode reminded that healing doesn’t just happen in hospitals; it happens in connection, in nature, and in sisterhood.


You're going to be moved by her story and walk away with a new perspective on how to show up for the women in your life who are facing hard things.

  • Peace on Patuxent offers retreats for women with cancer.
