It's emotional, inspiring and the kind of conversation I wish more women felt comfortable having openly.

Episode 9: Matt Brandon on Love, Loss, Keeping Promises & Telling Sammy Jo's Story
This week on Storme Diaries, I sit down with the incredible Matt Brandon for one of the most moving conversations we've ever had. We talk about Matt's childhood, his career, becoming a dad, the unbreakable bond he shared with his daughter Sammy Jo, and the unimaginable journey their family faced after her breast cancer returned and became terminal. It's a conversation about love, grief, resilience, and finding purpose through the darkest moments. Before Sammy Jo passed away at just 29 years old, one of her last wishes was for her dad to write a book about her journey. Matt made her a promise, and today that promise lives on through his book, When Life Goes Tits Up.
