We’ve grown. And so has this podcast.

What started as My Breastie Says was two friends navigating breast cancer from lived experience and medical expertise.

But we’ve realized something important:
Breast cancer is part of this conversation — but womanhood is so much bigger.

So we’re evolving.

✨ Welcome to Boobalicious.

Same honest conversations.
Same evidence-based guidance.
Same real talk.
Just a name that reflects our full lives — humor, hormones, healing, and all.

GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now—but are they actually safe after cancer?

In this episode of My Breastie Says, Jenni and Chris sit down with Paige Woodward, NP, to cut through the noise and dig into what the science actually says. Paige breaks down the latest research on GLP-1s, cancer risk, recurrence concerns, and who should (and shouldn’t) be considering these medications after treatment.

If you’ve seen the headlines, heard the hot takes, or wondered whether weight-loss meds are being responsibly prescribed to survivors, this conversation brings clarity, nuance, and evidence—without fear-mongering or fluff.

An essential listen for survivors navigating wellness trends with their health front and center.

“Just living life…with cancer in my body.”

That line stopped us cold.

Jaclyn Johnson joins us—an accomplished, driven woman used to building, leading, and powering through. Then cancer entered her body and upended everything. In this conversation, she shares what it was like to keep doing life as usual while carrying a diagnosis she didn’t choose—and how cancer forced her to reckon with uncertainty, fear, and a loss of control she couldn’t outwork or outmaneuver.

We talk about:
- the mental weight of carrying cancer while still showing up
- the statistic that still shocks us: 1 in 8 women
- the moment she realized, “I can do hard things.”

This episode is real. It’s raw. It’s empowering.
And it might be exactly what you needed today.
