Never would I expect that my best friend since the age of 10 and I would share the experience of a cancer diagnosis in our 30's. Hillary truly saved her own life by noticing a spot on her self breast exam one day that ended up being words no one wants to hear: it's cancer.

Through the height of the pandemic, I watched my best friend face a very difficult card as she got the news that her cancer was triple negative and she also tested positive for the BRCA gene. In this episode, my beautiful resilient friend shares her story of navigating life, treatment, multiple surgeries and balancing motherhood during a pandemic.

She is incredible. Her positive outlook on life, her desire to seek the joy in the little moments, continue to stay active and show up for herself and her family despite the hard and mentally and physically challenging days, she kept one foot in front of the other.

I am continuously in awe of this woman and ALL she has navigated in life. Please let this be your reminder to do your self exams, listen to your body, and also to continue to find the joy in each and every day.

I love you Hill! Thank you for coming to this platform to share your story.
