Meet Alexa Curtis, a young founder who has been working to empower women through mentorship and advocacy since she was only twelve years old. In 2011, Alexa launched a blog called “A Life in the Fashion Lane,” which later catapulted into a successful podcast “This is Life Unfiltered” and “Fearless Everyday” on Radio Disney — a partnership she pitched and secured on her own. Not only did Curtis turn her blog into a full-time lifestyle platform for teens (through cold pitching nonetheless), she managed to garner sponsorships with huge brands like British Airways and T-Mobile. But she didn’t stop there. In March of 2020, Alexa founded the Be Fearless Summit and is presently embarking on her next project, Mentor Match, a service that matches young women with inspiring leaders and experts in their fields.

Like many of us, Elissa Goodman began her career working long hours at a stressful job fueled by an excess of caffeine. Then her world was turned upside down. She felt a lump, and, after several specialists visits, a doctor diagnosed Elissa with early-stage Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. She was only 32. As a component of her long path of healing, Elissa turned to holistic nutrition and nourishment in concert with medical treatment. That was more than twenty years ago. Today, Elissa is one of the United States’ most influential holistic nutritionists on a mission to educate and encourage healthy, mindful living and to help others embrace the concept that we are a product of what we eat. As a close friend of The Seam, we were so pleased to sit down with her to further discuss her origin story, her philosophy, and her vision for the future of self-care. Take a listen.

Meet Dr. Brittany L. Siontis, a medical oncologist with a specialty interest in sarcomas. What are sarcomas? Sarcomas are a rare, insidious, and little-understood cancer that can affect adults and children alike. Often misdiagnosed, sarcomas can begin either in the bones or in the soft tissue. For that reason, they are very difficult to catch in their early stages. Dr Siontis currently serves as the Principal Investigator of several active clinical trials at Mayo Clinic through the Sarcoma Medical Oncology Group and works closely with the non-profit Rein in Sarcoma, a resource for patients and families touched by this disease. In this episode of The Seam Podcast, we sit down with one of the world’s leading experts on this cancer to better understand her work within this emerging field of research.
