When was the last time you scheduled your mammogram—before or after reorganizing the pantry, driving kids to practice, and binge-watching Netflix? Let’s be honest, mammograms sit on the “I’ll get to it later” list right next to flossing every night. But skipping them could mean missing the breast cancer facts every woman should know.

Today’s guest, Paula Schneider, honorary vice chair of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, breast cancer survivor, and author of Love Stays Strong, shares her powerful journey of diagnosis, treatment, and raising kids while fighting for her life. With her blend of honesty and humor, she opens up about the conversations we avoid, the myths we believe, and why early detection is everything.

This conversation is full of the breast cancer facts every woman should know—why mammograms matter more than we admit, how silence can hurt more than honesty with our kids, and what it really means to love your family enough to take care of yourself first. It’s raw, real, and a reminder that while cancer may change everything, love stays strong.
