About Life After Breast Cancer: The Podcast With Jen Rozenbaum
You were diagnosed with breast cancer and beat it. Congrats! You counted down until the day you could put the journey behind you and return to your life as you knew it before cancer. That day is here and yet you are still asking yourself, "When will things be normal again?" If you have been feeling like you are struggling emotionally, physically, and spiritually in your post cancer life, you are not alone. Here's the good news: You have a second chance at life and you aren't going to let it slip you by. This podcast is for breast cancer survivors who are truly ready to reconstruct their life and feel normal once again.
Episode 11: Tending the Healing Process with Alyssa Pressman
Alyssa Pressman, LCSW+Certified Coach, doesn't have breast cancer, but she has the BRCA gene and decided to undergo a double mastectomy. She's talking it through with me on the podcast - why she had it done, her family history, and the power of intuition. Plus, she drops some truth bombs that we all need to hear about the healing process.

Episode 10: A Candid Conversation with Lauren Candies Tarpley
“I was diagnosed in September of 2020. My substitute doctor - because my doctor was out with COVID - told me that it was an ingrown hair.”
Believe it or not, this was the beginning of Lauren Candies Tarpley's breast cancer diagnosis. She knew instinctually something was wrong, was able to get a mammogram 30 minutes later, and the rest is history. This episode is a casual and candid conversation about our breast cancer experiences, how women are treated in the medical field, guardian angels and the universe, the monster who gave me a ticket after spending 5 hours at Sloan Cancer Center, a scary staph infection, and so, so much more.

Episode 9: IVF, Pregnancy, Survivorhood, Oh My! with Emily Rich
Emily Rich froze embryos before breast cancer treatment - and got pregnant! (Even though my advice was not to have kids - kidding! Being a mother is the most amazing and difficult thing I’ve ever done.) Hear about her cancer journey - where it all started and where she is now, including the IVF roller coaster and how choosing to have kids through this process actually gave her a sense of control over her cancer diagnosis.

Episode 8: Weight Gain After Cancer with Luba Sasowski
We've all heard the misinformation about food - sugar causes cancer, aspartame causes cancer, don't eat carbs, eat a low inflammation diet if you want to lose weight in menopause...How do we weed through it all? One thing that we do know is weight gain after cancer is common, but the key is to only listen to your medical team and your body, and it's no. One. Else's. Business. Luba Sasowski, founder of skin brightening line Bryght and diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, joins me as co-host for this episode.

Episode 7: Life And Dating After Breast Cancer with Melissa Berry
It's cliché, but it's true: If you don't love yourself, how can you expect to love anyone else? We're talking dating this episode. Dating after a mastectomy (and how this can filter your prospects!). Dating on apps after being out of the dating pool since your 20s. Dating during COVID. Join me and my good friend Melissa Berry, the Cancer Fashionista!

Episode 6: Cancer is Trash with Hip Hop Happy Hour
"Cancer is trash, we all know that." The hilarious Tiffany and Trish from Hip Hop Happy Hour join me as my co-hosts for this episode. You'll learn about how these "breasties" found each other and then we get into the real talk about how cancer has changed our lives, not putting extra energy in the "what ifs" and focusing on the moment, and what the f*ck surviving even means. (Also, stay tuned to the end for a blooper reel...) You can find Hip Hop Happy Hour at https://www.instagram.com/hiphop_happyhour (https://www.instagram.com/hiphop_happyhour)

Episode 5: How I Faced and Made An Extremely Tough Decision
In this episode, I'm telling my story about how I decided to remove my ovaries. It was not an easy decision. It was a very personal decision. It felt like an attack on my femininity and my youth. In the end, it was necessary. I hope when you listen to this episode, you'll know that when you are facing tough decisions, you are not alone. We are in this together.

Episode 4: What the F*ck Just Happened? It's Time for My Story
This time, it's just me in this episode, and I'm telling you my story - the good, the bad, the ugly; the times when I hit rock bottom, and came up from the depths with a new perspective. I hope my story will resonate with you, so that you know you are not alone. This podcast is going to bring you inspiration, joy, and help to form a community of post-cancer bad asses.

Episode 3: Toxic Positivity with Ali Dudley
My good friend Ali Dudley just joined the Breast Cancer club - a club I never wanted her to join, but we've become closer now that she's in it. Ali and I have a lot of conversations behind the scenes and I wanted to bring those conversations to the podcast. How do you live life with cancer? How do you answer questions? How do you deal with relationships? What about toxic positivity? It's all in here.

Episode 2: Freaking Out and Moving On with Jamie Lee
Ever since we've had cancer, my good friend Jamie and I freak out any time we have a sniffle, cramp, or swell in our bodies and worry it's cancer again. How do you not freak out at every little thing? You've been through hell and back, you want to make sure it won't happen again, right? We'll tell you what helps us in those moments. Plus, gratitude, hilarious freak-out stories, and learning to embrace whatever you were left with post-trauma and trying to make the best of that - it's all in here.
