  • We Got This (Literally): Gifts, Grit & Living Fully with Stage 4

    We Got This (Literally): Gifts, Grit & Living Fully with Stage 4
    Dec 24 2025
    Chris and Jenni are joined by Elissa Kalver, founder of WeGotThis.org—a genius, heart-filled platform that works like a gift registry, but for people navigating cancer (because no one actually needs 30 blankets). Elissa shares how and why she created We Got This: it takes the guesswork out of support— for patients who are overwhelmed and loved ones who want to help but don’t know how. The conversation also goes deeper, as Elissa opens up about living fully with stage 4 cancer, redefining support, and finding meaning, connection, and joy even in the hardest seasons. This episode is equal parts practical, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that none of us have to do this alone. Learn more about our guest! www.elissakalver.com www.wegotthis.org Follow the pod!
