In this special episode, me and Candice sit down with the incredible Karen Sroka, a breast cancer warrior who’s just been diagnosed and is navigating her journey with raw honesty and strength. Karen shares her story (so far), and we dive into the emotional rollercoaster that comes with a fresh diagnosis—the fears, the questions, the unexpected moments of courage. Her vulnerability is powerful, and I know her experience is going to resonate with so many of you.

Since it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight the stories of our Ashes of Courage: Rising Through Cancer community members. It’s important to me to give these brave souls a platform to share their journey, not just to raise awareness, but to offer insight, inspiration, and hope to others who might be feeling the same overwhelm, fear, or uncertainty.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, in the trenches, or beyond your own cancer experience, Karen’s story is a reminder that you’re not alone. We're all in this together—rising from the ashes with courage. Let’s get into it.
