S6 Ep6: "His Cancer. Her Battle, too." Guest Melissa Coulier

Cancer doesn't happen to just one person. It enters a marriage, settles into the quiet spaces, changes the conversations, and asks both people to become versions of themselves they never expected to meet. In this deeply personal conversation, guest Melissa Coulier opens the door to the side of cancer that often remains just outside the spotlight—the caregiving, the uncertainty, the fierce love, and the moments when simply putting one foot in front of the other becomes an act of courage.

Wife of actor Dave Coulier (best known for his character Joey on Full House), Melissa shares a glimpse into what it means to stand beside someone you love through a cancer battle while navigating everything that comes with it. Melissa, who grew up in nature, discusses how nature and movement have given her strength so she can continue be a strength for her husband, while also learning what it means to "wear many hats" as a caregiver. Her work in wellness (she is ACE certified pain free movement specialist) and owner of Recess Club gave her building blocks as a foundation to draw from-though she never knew how necessary movement would be until cancer entered her life.
