On this episode of The Real Me Podcast, I want you to meet someone truly special, Samantha Diaz. I call her one of the rare golden birds, and you'll understand why the moment you hear her sing.

Her voice is absolutely effortless, filled with so much soul and power... but what happens when that incredible gift is silenced by a life-changing cancer diagnosis? Samantha takes us on her journey, from the moment she put her passion for music aside to how the Teen Cancer America’s Play It Back Music Program helped her find her voice again. What does it take to reclaim your joy and sing from the heart when you've been through the unimaginable?

This is a story of resilience you won't want to miss, and you simply have to hear her stunning song, "Like to Be Me," that came from it all.
