Welcome to the first IGG Extra of Summer 2026! ☀️

This week, Stef and Lauren are kicking off summer in two very different ways. Stef shares the story of her unexpected hospital stay after chemotherapy, what led to her admission, what neutropenia actually is, and how she's navigating cancer treatment one day at a time. Meanwhile, Lauren takes us along on a memorable Canadian adventure with her mom and aunt, filled with laughs, sightseeing, and family memories.

As always, we wrap things up by chatting about what we're currently loving...from the books we're reading and whether they're worth the hype, to the TV shows keeping us entertained this summer.

Whether you're here for the life updates, honest conversations about breast cancer, friendship, chronic illness, or just want to hang out with us for a while, we're so glad you're here.

Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and spend a little time with us for our first IGG Extra of the summer. 💛
