E 244: Laugh, Heal, Repeat: Finding Joy After a Cancer Diagnosis: Guest Cara Lockwood

Bestselling author Cara Lockwood has made readers laugh, cry, and swoon through more than 35 books — including the USA Today bestsellers The Takeover and I Do (But I Don’t), which became a Lifetime Original Movie starring Denise Richards.But in 2023, during a routine mammogram, Cara’s life took a sharp turn when she was diagnosed with Stage 1 HER+ breast cancer. After a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and reconstruction, she went into remission in 2024 — and turned her journey into something extraordinary.Her new book, There’s No Good Book for This but I Wrote One Anyway: The Irreverent Guide to Crushing Breast Cancer (Oct. 1, 2025), is a candid, laugh-out-loud, and deeply empowering guide for patients, survivors, and loved ones alike. Part memoir, part pep talk, and part “screaming into the void,” Cara uses humor as her healing superpower — offering an unfiltered, relatable take on the toughest days of treatment and recovery.In this episode, Cara shares how she found her voice through vulnerability, why gallows humor became her secret weapon, and the pep talk she’d give anyone who just got “the call.” It’s real, raw, and wildly human — proof that sometimes laughter is the best medicine.💗 Half of all proceeds from her book benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.Connect with Cara Lockwood:🌐 theresnogoodbookforthis.com🌐 caratheauthor.com📸 Instagram: @cara_lockwood | @cara.the.author📘 Facebook: facebook.com/AuthorCaraLockwoodComing SIoon To Cocoa Village, FLorida:My daughter , Jessica and I are pleased to invite you to the Radiant Women Wellness Weekend.
