Season 1 | Episode 9: A Bucket List of New Memories

When time becomes uncertain, memories become everything. In this emotionally rich episode, Stephanie shares the powerful moment when she and Jeff, just days before a life-altering surgery, chose hope over fear. With their hearts full of cautious optimism, they sat down for dinner at their favorite place, the Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach, and created a bucket list, not out of desperation, but from a deep desire to keep dreaming, living, and loving. It wasn’t just a list of destinations or adventures, it was a sacred symbol of belief that there was still more life left to be lived, more laughter to share, and more memories to make.

Stephanie reflects on how that small slip of paper became their roadmap to resilience. Each item represented another day, another chance, another victory against the odds. She brings us into the beauty of those quiet, joy-filled moments, soaking in time with family, toasting with wine in the jacuzzi, and holding onto the rituals that made them feel alive and connected. As Jeff faced surgery with strength and grace, Stephanie held onto the one thing she had always clung to in moments of uncertainty, faith in the future, and the belief that even in the midst of pain, love can still write the most beautiful chapters. This episode is a tribute to the life-affirming power of intention, presence, and holding onto hope even when nothing is guaranteed.

My hope is that the stories shared here bring you comfort, inspire hope, and serve as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, light still exists.
