Season 4 Episode 1: Shay Moraga On The Loneliness Of Survival And The Birth Of Shay’s Warriors

The Seam Podcast

Show Notes

For many survivors, the hardest part of cancer begins when treatment ends. Shay Moraga knows that feeling intimately—and she turned it into a mission. As founder of Shay’s Warriors: Life After Cancer, Shay created a space for women to find support, wellness, and belonging in the often-overlooked phase of survivorship. In this episode, she and Amy Cohen Epstein explore the emotional aftermath of cancer, the need for community in recovery, and what real healing looks like beyond survival.

We’re thrilled to launch Season 4 of The SEAM with this powerful conversation. This season, we're exploring the theme of how healing isn’t simply about surviving; it’s about thriving together, redefining what long-term wellness looks like after cancer, and building community where none felt possible.
