Stage Hope

Stage Hope was created out of a shared experience of two friends walking similar paths at non adjacent moments of their lives. The thing in common, a cancer diagnosis; though challenging, out of it would come a mutual shared desire to cultivate space for storytelling, speaking through hard moments and highlighting the key element that drives many of us to aspire to better things, hope. In this space you will hear about moments of adversity that many experience in life and the willingness to pull from the moment, light, lived lessons and insights that inspire. Our experiences, though singular, resonate across all people; the goal, to provide real life stories, resourceful tools that uplift the heart with hope you can carry with you.
