In this emotional and deeply personal episode of Mermaid Musings, Tara Coyote opens up about one of the most defining periods of her life – her stage 4 cancer diagnosis – alongside her beloved best friend of 30+ years, Michelle Russi. Originally recorded in February 2020 and released for the first time in June 2024, this raw, unfiltered conversation captures the unwavering bond of friendship, resilience, and love in the face of life-threatening illness.
Michelle was by Tara’s side through her darkest moments: from hospice referrals and painful chemotherapy to the miraculous recovery that followed. With deep gratitude, Tara reflects on Michelle’s six trips to Kaua’i in one year, her presence during the most grueling parts of treatment, and their decades-long journey as friends who met dancing to the Grateful Dead in Santa Cruz, with their young sons by their sides.
This is more than a story of healing – it’s a tribute to the kind of friendship that carries you through your most difficult seasons.
