About Survive Out Loud
Our Mission:
At Survive Out Loud, we believe no one should battle the hidden weight of cancer alone.
We provide a community for those navigating life with cancer—past, present, or alongside a loved one, where they can speak the truth of their mental health struggles, be heard without judgment, and find strength in connection.
Together, we shatter silence, spark brave conversations, and walk alongside each other in healing.
Meet the team that Survives Out Loud!
Meghan Wallace
Survive Out Loud was co-founded by Meghan Wallace, a stage 4 colorectal cancer survivor, mental health professional, and lifelong advocate for truth, resilience, and connection. With more than 15 years of experience in forensic behavioral health, Meghan brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her role as Executive Director of Survive Out Loud.
Cancer changed everything for Meghan—not just her health, but her voice, her purpose, and her way of seeing the world. What tried to silence her instead gave her a louder voice and a mission to help others find theirs. Drawing on her professional background and her own journey through diagnosis, treatment, and healing, Meghan co-created Survive Out Loud to ensure no one has to carry the hidden weight of cancer in silence.
As both a mental health professional and a survivor, Meghan understands the raw truth of survivorship—its fear, uncertainty, and lasting emotional toll. She has spent her career helping individuals in high-stakes environments face challenges with honesty, courage, and stability, while also walking her own path through trauma and healing. Known for her ability to bring humor and humanity into even the heaviest spaces, she creates environments where survivors feel seen, heard, and connected.
At Survive Out Loud, Meghan believes healing isn’t about being perfect—it’s about telling the truth, laughing when you can, and refusing to do it alone. Survivorship out loud means showing up messy and honest, finding connection in the chaos, and proving that silence has no place in healing.
Amber Trevasksis Bloomer
Survive Out Loud was co-founded by Amber Trevaskis Bloomer, a colon cancer survivor, coach, and lifelong advocate for resilience and healing. With more than 30 years of experience in psychology, therapy, and coaching, Amber has dedicated her life to helping people face life’s hardest challenges with courage, authenticity, and connection.
Amber knows firsthand that cancer changes everything—not just for those in treatment, but for survivors and caregivers who carry its mental and emotional weight long after. Drawing on her expertise in psychological safety, somatic psychology, and leadership development, she co-created Survive Out Loud as a space where no one has to carry that weight alone.
Amber has a rare combination of professional expertise and lived experience. As a colon cancer survivor, she understands the raw truth of the journey—its fear, uncertainty, and hidden toll on mental health. As a seasoned coach and therapist, she has spent decades helping leaders, teams, and individuals uncover strength, embrace vulnerability, and find resilience in the face of adversity. She is known for her ability to create safe, compassionate spaces where people feel truly seen and heard, as well as her gift for helping others transform struggle into growth.
At Survive Out Loud, Amber channels her deep belief that healing begins with honesty and community. She is passionate about meeting people where they are, whether in silence or speaking out loud, and walking alongside them with compassion. Through unfiltered voices, honored stories, and genuine connection, she is helping build a global movement to break isolation, embrace truth, and discover strength together
