A Queer Cancer Warrior's Journey: Defining Identity Through the Storm

From the smile and humour that masked her mental health, to facing cancer at 45 and early menopause as a queer woman. Stephanie opens up about what it means to rebuild yourself again and again.

It’s a story about truth-telling, messy middles, and learning to hold space for both grief and joy.

If you’ve ever struggled with your own mental health, worn a smile and used humor to hide the pain, or felt like you didn’t quite fit the mold, this conversation is for you.

You’re not alone in the storm and together, we can make it through.What to Expect:

• A raw and resonant story about mental health, identity, and transformation
• A fireside-style Q&A where you can ask questions or simply listen in
• A community gathering focused on storytelling, connection, and stigma-free dialogue

Info: Take this time to get comfortable and settle in before the speaker starts to share!

Info: This is what you came for! The speaker shares their journey and we get to learn that we're not alone in our journey.

Info: Dean and Stu lead a discussion with the speaker, and invite the audience to engage, ask questions, and share (for those who are comfortable to do so).
