Ep. 2: Motherhood, Cancer + Your Thirties with Sage Collins

Sage is 33 year old native Vermonter living in the small town of Grand Isle with her husband PJ, son Asher, and dog scout. In March of 2024, she was diagnosed with stage IV rectal cancer that had metastasized to her liver.

Now in complete remission, she finds purpose and meaning in sharing her story and informing others about the importance of early screening, knowing the warning signs, and patient advocacy.

Colon cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths for women in this country. If caught early, it is incredibly treatable and curable. In recent years, this specific disease has plagued younger and younger demographics for reasons currently unknown. If something feels off, please get screened. It could save your life.
