Today's episode is a deeply personal one. I share my journey starting from the first time I heard the words skin cancer, all the way through to today. This was a very difficult episode to record, but I felt it was extremely important. 1, because it shows how I became the person I am today. 2, it helps bring awareness to melanoma, and 3, because sharing my story might help someone else not feel so alone. Cancer touches so many lives and sadly my story is not unique. Please share today's episode with your loved ones because I don't want my story to become yours!

🔥 Quote of the Week | "I want to apologize to all the women I have called pretty before I've called them intelligent or brave.  I am sorry I made it sound as though something as simple as what you’re born with is the most you have to be proud of when your spirit has crushed mountains.  From now on I will say things like, ‘You are resilient’ or ‘You are extraordinary.’  Not because I don’t think you’re pretty, but because you are so much more than that.” - Rupi Kaur
