Cancer is an illness of undeniable weight with a gut-wrenching impact. Though she was shocked to get the news, Tori Stauffer chooses to believe her cancer diagnosis was the wake-up she needed...especially the second time around. As a successful mompreneur with a photography business, Tori was "should-ing" all over her life. When she answered one of the most impactful calls of her life, she went right back to her client. But it was that second time that jolted her back to reality, forced her to remember why she chose to pivot, and keep those promises and dreams at the forefront of her daily life.
Now, cancer-free x2, Tori shares what that initial diagnosis was like--for her and her family--, how working throughout treatment helped her cope, and how she remains committed to her purpose with every photo she takes.

As Analiza Wolf highlights, being a woman is awesome, but can be complicated in leadership roles, especially as a woman of color. She shares her road to leadership; from being stereotyped in the military, to spearheading her way to CEO. Analiza discusses how she tackled the boardroom, even if the role was daunting, and why her kids helped her stay motivated. We also delve into some dynamic situations, comments that retrospectively don't sit well, what she wished was accessible to her, and how breaking that "good girl" role is the best way to halt the bullshit.
