QVC Star Antonella Nester Opens Up On Cancer, Faith, And Life After Losing It All
Description
This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Antonella Nester — former QVC host, jewelry lover, cancer survivor, faith-filled storyteller, and full-time boat-life creator — for a raw conversation about losing her job, losing her house, facing leukemia and breast cancer, and finding a completely new life on the water.
Antonella shares what happened after she was let go from QVC, how the stress and heartbreak affected her body, and why she believes God carried her through the darkest season of her life. She opens up about chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, her husband’s heart attack, financial loss, and the emotional pain of leaving behind a dream job she loved deeply.
Then the conversation turns toward healing: why Antonella and her husband sold their home, moved onto a boat, built a new community, and found peace with less. She talks about faith, spiritual warfare, social media, rebuilding her work on her own terms, and why she now believes life cannot wait for “someday.”
