In this episode, we sit down with Stephanie Scalise, a breast cancer survivor who faced the unexpected transition from taking charge of her own medical care to receiving tremendous support from her community. Stephanie's story is not only about her battle with breast cancer but also about how her family rallied together, and she turned her experience into a force for good by creating Strides for Survivors. Join us as we explore her journey, resilience, and the creation of Strides for Survivors, a nonprofit supporting individuals in recovery from cancer.

Key Takeaways:
