Sarah: Yes, it's Scary, But You're Brave

In this episode we talk with Sarah, a physician, mom, and a reproductive rights advocate about how the show found her during one of the hardest periods of her life. After being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer while pregnant, Sarah faced surgery, chemotherapy, pregnancy loss, and the terrifying uncertainty of her own mortality. Against the backdrop of grief, political upheaval, and the fight for reproductive freedom, Heated Rivalry became an unexpected source of joy, emotional release, and new community. We talk about the strange and beautiful ways fandom connects us, the power of shared feelings, and how Heated Rivalry helps so many of us survive the darkest chapters of our own lives.
