Thriver Talks

It’s October, otherwise known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month which can be bittersweet if you have been affected by breast cancer. We’re grateful for the awareness and funds being raised in the name of research, but the infinite pink ribbons could be a constant daunting reminder of your current or past diagnosis. We totally get the mixed emotions, but we believe it is our purpose to take advantage of this month where all eyes and ears are on our cause, and make some noise, educate and raise some awareness for all of us!

In this episode of Thriver Talks, we discuss our recent ‘Savage X Fenty Thrivers’ campaign!... How it came to be, the behind the scenes and the purpose and mission of the campaign. For the very first time we feel that we were able to represent metastatic breast cancer thrivers and present it to the world in a way that exposes the unfamiliarity of the diagnosis. We received so much love which we are grateful for, but there’s always some negative feedback, and we address this feedback in our episode in the hopes of shedding light, educating, and clarifying.

In this episode you will learn:

- All about the Savage X Fenty Thrivers Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

- What metastatic breast cancer can look like

- What Breast Cancer Awareness means to us

We are two young women, whose lives took an unforeseen turn, both diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer at a young age. We are defying odds and have made it our life mission and purpose to spread our message of hope and the ability to thrive despite even the worst of circumstances. Currently co-authoring The Thrivers Guide where we are writing about healing and living your best life with and beyond cancer, we acknowledged the necessity to get some important messages out to the world prior to the release of our book. Thus, Thriver Talks is born! Our goal is to shed light on issues that are overlooked, bring awareness to the masses, inspire and give hope to those in need and play our role in putting an end to cancer for all.

In our very first podcast, we wanted to tell you our unique stories in our own voices, in our own authentic way so you could become familiar with our individual journeys as Thriver Talks unfolds. We look forward to taking this journey with you!

In this episode you will learn:

* The stories of Nalie Agustin and Stephanie Seban

* How we met

* Why being your own best advocate can be life changing and even life saving

* There is always hope no matter what the statistics say!
