Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Racing for Research — Sugar Hill 11-year-old brain cancer survivor and family running to raise funds Sugar Hill’s Rowan Rieve, an 11-year-old cancer survivor, is gearing up for the 2025 Lauren’s Run in Sandy Springs with his family. Despite battling two brain tumors and undergoing intense treatments, Rowan has participated in the race since 2022, improving his time each year. Now in remission, he’s excited to beat his 50-minute record and enjoy post-race treats. The Rieve family, who raised $1,200 for pediatric cancer research, is dedicating this year’s run to Rowan’s late grandfather, Werner Rieve, honoring his memory while celebrating resilience and family unity. STORY 2: Lanier Grad Phillip Webb Earns Camp Invitation from Miami Dolphins Lanier High graduate Phillip Webb has earned a training camp invite from the Miami Dolphins, as announced by Jackson State University. Despite going undrafted in the NFL Draft, Webb showcased his talent during his college career. After battling injuries at LSU, he transferred to Jackson State, where he recorded 41 tackles (10 for losses) and three sacks in 2022, followed by 22 tackles (six for losses) and three sacks in 2023. STORY 3: Fired CDC Workers Ask Ossoff to Fight Harder for Them at Cobb Town Hall At a Cobb County town hall, Sen. Jon Ossoff faced criticism from fired CDC workers demanding stronger opposition to federal cuts under former President Trump. Ossoff called the layoffs “shortsighted” and defended the CDC as vital to public health, highlighting Medicaid’s role in Georgia. Fired workers accused him of insufficient action, prompting Ossoff to pledge meetings and further support. While some attendees expressed skepticism, Ossoff emphasized the need for a Democratic majority to counter Trump’s policies, warning of threats to democracy and the rule of law.

Harjeet is dedicated to breaking the stigma around cancer, fertility loss, and hair loss due to treatment—especially within the South Asian community.

Jessica Baladad, six-year cancer survivor, is the creator of Feel For Your Life, a free mobile application that provides resources on how to perform self breast exams and when to get screenings, while allowing users to track and monitor their changes and set reminders. An unexpected breast cancer diagnosis at 33 years old empowered Jessica to channel her experience into a mission that is changing the way women advocate for their medical care. It's the first of its kind created by a breast cancer patient and has been downloaded tens of thousands of times all over the world. In 2024, Jessica implemented an AI feature into the app to help patients interpret and better understand pathology reports from their breast cancer screenings. Jessica's history with breast cancer catalyzed her dedication to building Feel For Your Life. She's the fourth generation on her paternal side of the family to be diagnosed with the disease, and yet, no known gene mutation has been found in her lineage. She first learned how to do a self breast exam after having a benign tumor removed at 18, and nearly 15 years later, Jessica was diagnosed with Stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma after performing a routine self exam in the shower. She underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, 24 rounds of radiation, a hysterectomy and 10-hour flap reconstruction. Since launching the app, Jessica has expanded her advocacy into healthcare reform. She has helped write legislation in the State of Tennessee to promote risk reducing measures against cancer and disease. Billed as the Feel For Your Life Act, it requires high school students to learn about self breast exams, testicular exams and skin exams. Additionally, Jessica has spoken out against insurance companies before members of Congress. She is working to eliminate quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) scores, Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs) and co-pay accumulators. Jessica plans to grow her efforts further by working with medical providers, patients and vendors to bridge the gaps that keep individuals from getting access to the care they deserve. Jessica has been featured on Good Morning America, Tank's Good News, USA Today, The Dave Ramsey Show, UpWorthy and several national and international media outlets. She's worked with the NFL on their Crucial Catch Campaign to promote cancer screenings, received the Hometown Hero Award from Ponce Law on Nashville's Fox 17, has been recognized by the National Breast Cancer Foundation for her leadership initiatives and was the recipient of the Mona Lisa Foundation Grant in 2023. In 2020, the NFL's Crucial Catch Campaign partnered with Jessica to spread awareness about the importance of screenings being missed during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. She serves as an active committee member of the Tennessee Advocate for Breast Cancer (TA4BC) group.

Hauntings & Healing Nightmares During Crisis About the Show : Have you ever wondered aloud, “Was that just a ghost I heard and saw?” During any crisis, it is not unusual for our deceased loved ones, spirit guides, and guardian angels to come to our aid and offer guidance. Because many in the Western World were not raised to believe in such help, we may misinterpret these signs of caring for Hauntings. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Our loved ones often go to great lengths to let us know we are not alone in our hour of need and use anything and everything at their disposal, from moving objects to make noise to appearing in nightmares to let us know we are not alone. Helen Keller said, “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but which has opened? Often, we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one for us.” Join Kat Kanavos aka Kat-The Queen of Dreams, as she shares deeply personal experiences from her first Nautilus award-winning book, Surviving Cancerland, filled with “hauntings and nightmares” during her health crisis. These experiences helped save her life, all three times.   About the Guest: Kathleen O'Keefe-Kanavos aka, Kat-The Queen of Dreams, is a three-time breast Cancer Survivor whose dreams and nightmares diagnosed her illness missed by the medical community and the tests on which they relied. She listened to the guidance in her dreams returned to her doctors for more tests, which found the cancer. Her doctors and dreams worked to save her life, three times. Kat turned her life crisis into award-winning books translated into foreign languages. Kat now teaches people how to understand and use their dream power to improve their life and writing, too, as a Dreamy Writers Conference Cruise Facilitator on the Holland American Cruise Line. https://www.kathleenokeefekanavos.com/ Show Take Away- Nice things go more unnoticed and are less remembered than scary ones. Sometimes scary things are the Universe saying, “Change…or else!” Remember when an authority figure said that to you? “Or else” can scare the be-jabbers out of us because our imagination can create scenarios much worse than reality. When we feel we have been painted into a scary corner by Death, what if…it is the only way Life can get our attention so we will make a change…for the better!  Video Version: https://www.youtube.com/live/9iHULFhQdS4?si=KShIuPRf4DKjThfE Chat with Kat during Live Show with Video Stream:  write a question on YouTube Have a Question for the Show?

The Importance of Specificity in Communication Instead of vague offers to help, being specific about what you can do makes a real difference. How to Support Someone Facing a Serious Illness Simple gestures, like sending a card or making a concrete offer, are more helpful than vague sympathy. The Role of Humor in Coping with Difficult Situations Humor can be a powerful tool for dealing with hardship, but it should come from the person experiencing it. Advocating for Yourself in the Medical System Patients need to be proactive, ask questions, and not hesitate to push for answers from healthcare providers. The Pitfalls of Saying "I Know How You Feel" Everyone's experience is different, and assuming you understand their emotions can be dismissive. How Business Leaders Should Communicate a Health Challenge Transparency is key—sharing information directly helps prevent rumors and misinformation. What Employers Can Do to Support an Employee Facing a Health Crisis Providing mental health resources and flexibility in work arrangements can make a big impact. The Power of Living in the Present Facing a serious illness often shifts one's priorities toward making the most of every day. Why Words Matter More Than Ever in Difficult Times Thoughtful, intentional communication helps people feel supported rather than isolated. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.
