Under the Influence with Jo Piazza

A Look Into Cancer Influencing with Kelli Stuart


Listen Later

A couple of years ago, Kelli Stuart was diagnosed with breast cancer after she went in for a routine mammogram and it did not go the way she expected. Once Kelli got her diagnosis she wanted to find one thing in her life that she could control. Like a lot of women that I know and love, Kelli is a doer and a fixer. She talked to all of the doctors and did the treatments that they recommended, but she also wanted to do more. She wanted to know more. 

While Kelli was waiting for her treatments to do their thing, she went down a deep rabbit hole of cancer influencers. Some of it was helpful, because finding community when you are going through it can be a wonderful thing. But some of it got dark, and unhelpful, and even scary. Some of the influencers she found were recommending treatments that were so expensive people were mortgaging their homes. I asked her to come on today to share her personal story with diving into this cancer influencer rabbit hole and the moment that she realized she had to dig herself out of it.

You can follow Kelli here and order her book The Master Craftsman here.

And if you want to surprise all your family members with copies of The Sicilian Inheritance come Spring you should definitely do that. I won't stop you. In fact, I'll come make dinner...or at the very least I'll order the Hello Fresh.
