To round up the month of May and this wild time we’re living in, I wanted to have a candid conversation around this concept that we keep throwing around in society right now as “the new normal”.

“When will life get back to normal?”

“What is normal now?”

What is our world going to look like post COVID? What are WE going to look like? Feel like?

The term new normal is one that might be new to your world — but to mine, it’s permeated through it like a rip tide. I’ve always heard the phrase “new normal” so much in the cancer community. And while I have never personally had cancer, being a woman with BRCA and someone impacted by breast and ovarian cancer genetically, I have connected with so many womxn in the community who are fighting cancer as we speak or are in remission.

I knew I wanted to tackle this on the podcast — especially as many places start to ease up their boundaries around what is or is not safe to do, and I couldn’t have had a better person to have this conversation with than Allison Moran — a dear friend of mine in the breast cancer community and badass human that I am so thrilled to introduce you to.
