Colleen Hoover isn’t just known for writing gripping novels; she’s also navigating a remarkable journey of health and resilience. Recently, on Jenna Bush Hager’s podcast, Hoover detailed the alarming symptoms she experienced prior to her cancer diagnosis, including passing out multiple times. While she initially kept her diagnosis close to her chest, she later unveiled her story to encourage others and share her positive outlook throughout the struggle.
Following surgeries and a course of radiation, Hoover is embracing a new chapter focused on health. She’s declared 2026 her “year of health,” vowing to prioritize sleep and doctor’s visits—no more late-night writing marathons! With the support of her loved ones, she’s ready to tackle the next steps of her wellness journey. It seems like a little self-care goes a long way, and who knew that sometimes, the best medicine was simply getting enough sleep?
