Robin Roberts' Everybody's Got Something

We have heard some amazing stories of resilience during the first two seasons of "Everybody's Got Something" -- but until now, we've focused on people you probably know. This week, we focus on our listeners' own 'somethings.' Robin even sat down with one listener, Sammy Kamara, and his wife, Carol, in our New York City studio! Thank you to everyone who left us voicemails and sent in messages. And thanks to you for listening this season. We'll talk again very soon!

It's not always easy to share your "something," whatever that may be. But try doing it on TV before an audience of millions! Just like Robin, Amy Robach and Dan Harris both went public with very personal struggles. Amy discovered she had breast cancer after taking a mammogram on "GMA" to encourage early detection. Dan had a panic attack on air, the result of heightened anxiety kicked in by drugs he was taking to self-medicate. The two news anchors join Robin for an intimate, honest, and even highly entertaining talk about the difficulties and gifts of publicly sharing their stories. Inside their journeys are valuable teachings for all about finding our greatest strengths -- and the love that surrounds us -- when we are feeling most vulnerable.
