When life throws you a curveball, hitting it out of the park takes on a whole new meaning. That's exactly what Jamie Vaughn and I tackle in our latest heart-to-heart. From our personal battles with breast cancer to finding new purpose, we lay bare the transformative journeys that reshaped our lives. Jamie, the vibrant voice behind "Test Those Breasts," joins me to share her powerful shift from school teacher to unwavering health advocate, revealing the raw emotions and the undeniable strength that comes with facing our mortality.

This conversation isn't just about the scars we bear; it's about the incredible tapestry of support and understanding we weave together. Jamie and I delve into the emotional rollercoaster of treatments, the complexities of managing a barrage of well-meaning but often misguided advice, and the profound connections built within the cancer community. We highlight how even a simple "I'm here for you" can carry someone through their darkest days and how educating ourselves and others can be a beacon for early detection.

Our episode reaches beyond the personal stories, extending an open hand to listeners who've walked this path or know someone who has. We trumpet the call for stories of triumph, struggle, and everything in between, knowing that each voice adds to the chorus that uplifts and emboldens others facing similar battles. Join us in this celebration of resilience and in charting a course through the often turbulent but ultimately empowering seas of life after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Jamie is helping me Change The World, One S.M.I.L.E. At A Time by reminding people on the importance of your annual screeenings to prevent the diagnosis.
