  • The Big C - Catalyst
    Ceca Mijatovic - I'm painting the town pink for my next guest who asks...If you're not paying attention to what your cancer is teaching you, how else are you paying?  
    If you or someone you know is or was dealing with The Big C, this podcast is for you.
    In honor of breast cancer awareness month, I am excited to introduce you to Ceca Mijatovic - a badass life coach who focuses on helping women who have been diagnosed with cancer. She's had her own battle with the “Big C” and it became a catalyst for positive change in her life. Now she helps other women use their diagnosis as an opportunity to transform their life for the better.
    Prior to becoming a life coach, Ceca held numerous leadership roles at Fortune 50 companies as well as startups. Her educational background is in Applied Mathematics and professionally she has leaned on math as a philosophy, more so than a science. 
    Ceca is dedicated to teaching women diagnosed with cancer how to supercharge their healing self, navigate fear, and recalibrate their life by using cancer as a powerful catalyst for change - whether it's through her new Podcast, Truth and Dare Cancer , or her I Can Cancer 10-week coaching program.
    Today I talk to Ceca about her journey and how she's helping women as she asks…Do you own your cancer or does it own you?
