I am so excited to introduce you to my cancer besties, Missi and Alice, who turned their breast cancer journeys into purpose!

Cancer Besties is an incredible online toolbox that translates your imaging & lab reports into plain English, & also provides a list of follow-up questions to ask your provider. 🤯 (When I posted about it on @theboobiedocs, you all went crazy with good reason!)

We talk about each of their breast cancer journeys & how this inspired them to create Cancer Besties. Missi was found to carry a BRCA 1 mutation and underwent a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy. She then helped her friend Alice, who was diagnosed with breast cancer after her first mammogram.

We cover a lot in this important conversation, including:

•What to expect for your mammogram & biopsy

•Understanding your imaging & biopsy results

•How to calculate your own breast cancer risk score using the Tyrer-Cuzick calculator

•The real reason you can’t wear deodorant during a mammogram…

And so much more!

I hope you love this conversation as much as we do.

It is my incredible honor to introduce you to my friends at the Pink Eraser Project, a newly launched nonprofit to help accelerate the development of the breast cancer vaccine, which thanks to their support & top cancer researchers around the country, could be a reality in the next 5 to 10 years. (Yes you read that right!!) 🤯

I joined by cofounder, Kristen Dahlgren, an Emmy nominated NBC reporter & medical correspondent for nearly 3 decades, who recently stepped down from her role to launch the Pink Eraser project, which as a breast cancer thriver, is a project so dear to heart.🎀

Kristen joins me with her cofounder & friend, Michele Young, who also happens to be a badass lawyer, stage 4 breast cancer thriver & advocate. Their mission, to support the ongoing clinical trials & cancer vaccine researchers including Kiran Dillon, PhD, Executive Director of the University of Washington Cancer vaccine Institute, who joins me on the podcast as well.

I promise this podcast episode will leave feeling hopeful, inspired, & wanting to support their mission of erasing breast cancer.

Sending you love. Thank you for listening. 💕

I am joined by my longtime friend Dr. Heidi Hutman, who also happens to be a Clinical Psychologist & Associate Professor of Psychology at a University in Philadelphia.

Not gonna lie, this conversation gets a little emo. 🖤

We reflect on 2023 & manifest for 2024, while discussing the hedonic treadmill of success & the struggles of balancing work, life, & social media.

I also open up about my diagnosis of ADHD, why she didn’t tell me, common symptoms, & tips/ treatment for ADHD.

This is a real and raw conversation that we hope you get something out of, & a reminder that it’s ok not to be ok. 🫶

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we do.
