Raised & donated over $15,000 for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer & Bluewater Babes3. I've been an advocate and a voice for others to know it's OK to fire your medical team if they aren't a good fit for you4.

Became a Certified Cancer Exercise Specialist to be able to help others navigate their recovery from surgery and treatment6. Met so many amazing women that have been diagnosed and have become friends7. Found so much confidence & clarity in my life8. Took back control of my life9. Incorporated into my Real Estate business plan that every transaction I close, a portion of my commission will go back to a breast cancer organization to help others10. And the list goes on!Because I will find the silver lining in everything!Hitting the 5 year cancer free milestone is a big deal and it seemed like it would be forever until I got here and trust me when I tell you the wind has been taken out of my sails on many occasions. I have even felt like a weeble wobble many times but as we know, weebles wobble, but they don't fall down!Rest assured my comeback is much greater than my setback!

They serve breast cancer patients from the start of diagnosis and beyond through survivorship to support, and empower them to prioritize their mental health as a critical part of overall wellness during their recovery journey.  Dr. McGee talks about how she went from a high achieving pharmacist/educator to diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 at 33 with a 3 yr old. She followed her treatment from starting chemo to surgery but the whole time after hearing her diagnosis she had become depressed, anxious, and hopeless. While unpacking the mental aftermath of the diagnosis with a licensed therapist, she discovered that the missing link to her recovery was mental wellness. The transformation came when she discovered the role of a certified peer mental health specialist that used a wellness recovery framework. She realized how much it helped her so she became certified herself. Now she can help young high achievers, diagnosed with breast cancer, to identify their goals, hopes, and dreams with the help of a mindset breast cancer coach.
