At the helm of this ship are two women - Nikita Stanley and Aleks Jassem - a pair of former party-girls who got unintentionally pregnant within weeks of each other and went from acquaintances to best friends in a (fetal) heartbeat. In 2014, the two unlikely moms combined their talents and mutual distaste for the typical mommy rhetoric and created The Rebel Mama(.com). Adored by cool moms the world over, the smart and edgy online publication creates a safe and judgement-free space that’s known for its celebration of both individuality and authenticity. Between the two of them, Aleks and Nikita are mamas to three kids, a dog, and a cat. They reside in Toronto, Canada and survive (almost) exclusively on peanut butter sandwiches, Napolitano pizza, and coffee.

Dr. Michelle Nadler is a Medical Oncologist with Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. She's also an Assistant Professor, Clinician in Quality & Innovation at the University of Toronto. In her clinical role, she treats women with breast cancer. From a research perspective, she focuses on cancer-survivorship issues and the role of exercise/rehabilitation in oncology as well as breast cancer screening from women age 40-49. For both of these topics, her focus is on knowledge translation (or dissemination & implementation) - ie how can we ensure that we put the best evidence into routine clinical practice. This is such an important topic - especially considering much of what we are told about breast cancer screening isn't necessarily best practices or evidence based. Listen and learn!
