The podcast where we straight talk about surviving and thriving breast cancer through support, healthy living, fitness and the power of community & connecting.
After my own breast cancer experience I found my purpose at the intersection of passion & pain. I realized my career in real estate & fitness was more than just selling homes, working out, and healthy lifestlyes. Here we educate, empower, and inspire others to take back control of their life after a diagnosis to become the best version of themselves. Taking you from not just Surviving, but Thriving in life. Sometimes our biggest set backs are our best comebacks.
Thriving Beyond Breast Cancer: Jenny Swain's Journey of Empowerment and Hope
When life handed her lemons, Jenny Swain didn't just make lemonade—she built a lemonade empire. This week, we're honored to have Madison, Wisconsin's own realtor and breast cancer thriver share her transformative journey, a narrative that reshapes the fears and misconceptions of living with the disease. Her unflinching pragmatism and zest for life didn't just carry her through the trials of cancer; they propelled her into a new realm of empowerment and connection, shedding light on the personal battles and triumphs that so often go unspoken.
Baldness, societal expectations, and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies breast cancer – Jenny tackles them all with a raw honesty that's as refreshing as it is heartrending. But her story isn't just about the struggle; it's a testament to the unique paths we walk and the individualized care that's crucial along the way. Her deep-seated mother-daughter relationship echoes the emotional reverberations that cancer brings, not just to the person it afflicts but to their loved ones, reminding us that the fight against cancer is a deeply shared experience.
As we wrap our heartfelt chat, Jenny's life post-diagnosis paints a portrait of true transformation. With her focus shifted from scaling the heights of the real estate world to savoring every precious moment with loved ones and engaging in soul-enriching hobbies, she exemplifies the art of thriving. Her dedication to mentoring, community volunteering, and embracing new passions is not just inspiring—it's a call to action for all of us to recognize that there is a rich life waiting on the other side of adversity. Join us for an episode that's not just a story, but a beacon of hope for anyone touched by breast cancer.

Triumphs and Trials: Navigating Life and Finding Purpose After Breast Cancer
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.
