What happens when a top-tier radiation oncologist walks away from a thriving career to pursue a deeper truth in healing? In this powerful and profoundly moving conversation, Dr. Nasha Winters is joined by Dr. Katie Deming , a board-certified radiation oncologist, TEDx speaker, and founder of Make Mary , a line of healing garments for women with cancer. Together, they dive into the intersection of science, spirit, and systems—and the life-altering experiences that led Dr. Deming to redefine what it truly means to heal. Dr. Deming shares her transformational journey from conventional medicine into holistic healing after a shared-death experience cracked open her worldview. She reflects on the power of intuitive knowing , trauma’s role in disease , and the importance of language in cancer care —including her deep discomfort with the word “survivor” and the problematic battle metaphors often used in oncology. This is a heartfelt, hopeful episode that reminds us healing is possible—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
