Welcome the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast!
The weekly show that helps you dream bigger and achieve more in your business, by learning what works from successful female entrepreneurs.
In this episode
Today we have a very special episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast for Breast Cancer Awareness month.
As this is such an important topic as 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, so this week I invited four guests to join me:
Sapna Pieroux who was diagnosed BC in August and is currently recovering from surgery.
Judit Csapo who was diagnosed five years ago and has recently pivoted her business and retrained to support more women through their cancer and health journey.
Catherine Schopfer an online cancer coach who has been supporting women with their lifestyle and purpose for the decade following her own cancer journey, and
Dr. Cecilia Serban a medical doctor who worked with terminal cancer patients and who now focuses on helping women optimise their health and lifestyle.
We'll talk about how each of them has experienced the condition in a unique but equally significant way, as well as how they're each managing it. They will discuss their varied perspectives as patients, survivors, professionals and most of all, as women.
Don’t miss this empowering episode as these four courageous ladies will inspire and motivate you to enjoy greater health, wellbeing and happiness as they show you that this needn’t be a journey of illness, but one of empowerment!
"It's time to communicate openly about breast cancer and to stop stigmatising the disease." -Sapna Pieroux
