This episode is really special to me.You're going to meet two girls who are both showing us what strength looks like… just in very different ways.First, you'll meet Leahla. Right now, she's going through treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. And the way she talks about it? The way she carries herself? It stopped me in my tracks.She's not looking for pity. She's not calling herself a “nebach.” Her words: “We're not nebachs. We're heroes.”And once you hear her explain what that means… you won't forget it.Then you'll meet Sari.After her baby sister spent time in the NICU, Sari realized something powerful: She doesn't just want to learn… she wants to help.She's already thinking about becoming a nurse one day, maybe in oncology, maybe in the NICU… and the way she talks about caring for people, really seeing them, is something every kid (and adult!) needs to hear.So this episode is about two kinds of strength: ✨ The strength to go through something hard ✨ And the strength to step up and help others through it

In this episode, I'm diving into a topic that's not getting nearly enough attention—especially when it comes to our kids: the connection between vaping, HPV, and oral cancer. April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, and I wanted to have a real, honest conversation about how the risk factors are changing, why younger populations are now being affected, and what that means for us as parents. This isn't about fear—it's about awareness and understanding what's actually happening inside the mouth.   I also share personal experiences, both as a dental hygienist and a mom, and break down what vaping is really doing to the oral environment, how HPV plays a role, and why things like mouth breathing and dryness matter more than we think. We'll talk about what to look for, how to catch things early, and how to approach these conversations with your teens in a way that actually keeps them open and listening.   Links & Resources   Suvia Mouth Rinse (alcohol-free, safe for daily use): www.mouthwash.com   A little awareness now can make a big difference later.

In this episode, we sit down with Dana Harris to discuss her multifaceted career journey—from interning with the New York Mets and producing sports in Tulsa to a two-decade career in banking. Now with the American Cancer Society, Dana is spearheading the 20th anniversary of the Tulsa Cattle Barons Ball, the largest ACS fundraiser in Oklahoma.

It's one of those weeks where the headlines feel uncomfortably close to home. Between James Van Der Beek's death from colorectal cancer and Eric Dane's ALS diagnosis, it's hard not to think about your own health and mortality. So we brought on our friend Mickey Rapkin — journalist, author, former GQ editor, and yes, the guy who wrote Pitch Perfect before it became a major studio franchise. In August 2025, Mickey's older brother Jon died from brain cancer. We talk about sibling loss (aka the worst club), the sacred inside jokes, the random movie lines that become part of your daily language, and how grief rewires you on a cellular level. We also get into Mickey's Men's Health piece about cancer screenings — the big question of how much do you want to know, what testing can (and can't) do, and why “control is an illusion” is both depressing and… oddly clarifying.

Colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon and rectum) is now the leading cause of cancer deaths in adults younger than 50. Rates have increased steadily over the past three decades, with the most dramatic rise seen in people in their 20s and 30s. In this episode we break down what that means for you and the people you love.  https://bit.ly/3OpPlk8Early colorectal cancer often has no symptoms at all, which is why screening guidelines were recently lowered to begin at age 45. When caught early, the five-year survival rate is 91%. When detected after it has spread, survival drops dramatically.We discuss:Why colorectal cancer is increasing in younger adultsThe subtle symptoms many people ignoreHow blood clots can complicate cancerLifestyle factors linked to riskWhy early-onset colorectal cancer tends to be more aggressiveHow to advocate for yourself if something feels “off”If you notice blood in your stool, persistent abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue from anemia — do not dismiss it.

Congress Cashes In While You Struggle | Karel Cast 25-147 The new bill reopening the U.S. government is a massive payday for Congress—not for you. Buried deep in the legislation are perks for lawmakers, including a retroactive $500,000 payout for any member whose phone records were seized during the January 6th investigations. Billions more are being funneled into office upgrades, security, and staff expansions. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court keeps siding with Trump's cruelty—letting people go hungry and putting healthcare back in the hands of rich White men who play God with your life. Karel also opens up about his own skin cancer removal, using it to spotlight the major advances in cancer treatment and testing—and the question that matters most: Will these medical breakthroughs only help the rich? And Disney's Toy Story 5 sends a quiet message: screens are destroying kids. But maybe—just maybe—this is evolution. As technology becomes universal, should kids actually be learning to thrive in a screen-based world?

Pancreatic cancer is among the deadliest forms of cancer, and Pennsylvania has one of the nation’s highest rates. For families like the Crosbys of Cumberland County, the disease has left a lasting mark — one they hope can spark more awareness, early detection, and support. The beginning of the school year is an exciting time, but many children will fall behind academically, developmentally and socially because of undetected vision issues. That is the concern of the Pennsylvania Optometric Association, POA, and the reason state lawmakers are sponsoring the Children’s Vision Bill. It calls for optometrists and ophthalmologists to perform vision exams at milestone years for students: kindergarten, fourth and eighth grades. The National Parent Teacher Association has reported that more than 10 million children in the U.S. suffer from undetected vision problems that can hamper learning success. Identifying those students who have vision-related deficiencies early on and getting them an effective diagnosis and treatment will make a significant impact on their overall quality of life and future.

Stress isn't just “in your head”—it changes your biology. It depletes nutrients like magnesium, vitamin C, B vitamins, and zinc, and keeps your body in survival mode. Supplements can help, but they won't heal you if the root cause—stress—remains. In this episode, I talk about why stress management is as critical as nutrition, how CBT and EMDR support your healing, and why lab testing matters before wasting money on supplements.   References from this episode: Juster R-P, McEwen BS, Lupien SJ.

DISCLAIMER: This episode contains emotionally sensitive content around breast cancer. Listener discretion advised. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime—but behind every statistic is a deeply personal story. In this raw and powerful episode of The Empower Hour, we're doing things a little differently. Instead of the usual intro, we're handing the mic directly to our guests: Amy Brace and Jacquelyn Vranicar, co-creators of the upcoming One in Eight documentary and founder of VraniCURE.org. This episode explores the inspiration behind a project that's more than just a film—it's a movement of healing, honoring, and amplifying the voices of previvors, survivors, and thrivers. From the heartbreak and hope in each story to the bold vision of creating a safe space for storytelling, Amy and Jackie take us behind the scenes of a taping event unlike any other. We talk about: The emotional impact of the documentary Why pampering and storytelling go hand-in-hand Common misconceptions about breast cancer and metastatic diagnoses The difference between “previvor,” “survivor,” and “thriver”—and why language matters What Amy and Jackie hope this film changes for future generations

After enduring multiple surgeries, rib resections, and stage 4 breast cancer treatment, Cheri Henderson was told her pain was just her “new normal.” But then she met Monica Kasari-Desulme—a physical therapist specializing in cancer rehabilitation and lymphatic support—and everything changed. In this powerful and emotional episode, Cheri shares how physical therapy helped her breathe, move, and live again. From not being able to sit in a car without pain to hiking the Grand Canyon, her transformation is nothing short of miraculous. You'll also hear from Monica, who breaks down the science behind scar tissue, adhesions, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy, and chemo brain. Together, they help us understand why physical therapy isn't just about range of motion—it's about reclaiming your life after breast cancer. about your heart, your spirit, and your future.  

If you've ever found yourself hurt, frustrated, or emotionally drained because someone didn't do what you thought they should—especially after you asked—this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm talking about a powerful concept I use with my clients all the time, called “the manual.” It's the invisible rulebook we write in our minds about how other people should behave and what their actions (or lack of action) mean about us. But here's the catch: no one else has a copy of that manual. And when people don't follow our unspoken rules, we end up making it mean something painful—like “they don't care,” or “they don't love me.” That pain builds up, and it affects our emotional and physical health, especially when we're healing after something as life-changing as breast cancer. So in this episode, I'm sharing how to spot when you're living by a manual, how to burn it, and how to replace it with something far more powerful: clear, loving boundaries that support your peace and your healing.  

In this episode of The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach, we'll dismantle three of the most common—and misleading—nutrition myths that many women encounter after a breast cancer diagnosis. Whether you're in active treatment or navigating life post-cancer, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical advice rooted in science, not fear.   You'll learn: Why not all carbohydrates are harmful and how whole-food carbs can actually support healing The truth about plant vs. animal foods and how to identify clean, high-quality animal proteins How “organic” and “plant-based” labels can mislead your food choices—and what to look for instead If you've ever felt confused or overwhelmed by nutrition advice, this episode will help you reconnect with your body, make informed choices, and feel confident in the way you nourish yourself. Topics Covered: The real difference between simple and complex carbohydrates How to eat carbs while maintaining stable blood sugar Nutrient density and bioavailability of animal vs. plant foods What qualifies as a clean animal food and why it matters The “health halo effect” of organic and plant-based labels Tips for tuning out food fear and tuning into what works for your body   Resources & References: Work with Laura Study: Glycemic load and cancer risk – Nutrition Journal Study: Dietary fiber intake and breast cancer – Annals of Oncology Study: Macronutrient combinations and glycemic response – Diabetes Care Study: Organic labeling and perception – Food Quality and Preference Study: Health halo of plant-based labels – Appetite (2018) Study: Plant-based health halo and risk perception – Appetite (2019)   Loved this episode?

This episode is such an exciting one, and honestly, it might just change the way you think about what you eat—especially if you've ever felt confused or overwhelmed about what's “safe” or supportive after a breast cancer diagnosis. I'm talking about two powerful cellular processes that are important for us to understand: autophagy and angiogenesis. These are what researchers call hallmarks of cancer—but they're also incredible opportunities for healing. And the best part? You don't need to fast for days or eat perfectly to support them. You just need to make some smart, loving food and lifestyle choices—and I'll walk you through what those are. We'll talk about how to support your body's natural clean-up system (autophagy) and how to regulate the way your body builds blood vessels (angiogenesis)—all through everyday foods, simple habits, and ditching the all-or-nothing mindset.  

If you've ever looked at a wellness gadget and thought, “Is this really going to help me?”—you're not alone. In this episode of The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach Podcast, we explore the science behind a popular wellness tool: vibration plates, also known as whole-body vibration therapy (WBV). Whether you're in recovery from breast cancer, managing post-treatment fatigue, experiencing bone loss, or dealing with sluggish digestion, you'll discover how this gentle, low-impact tool could support your healing journey. We'll dive into clinical research, explain how vibration plates work, and walk through the many potential benefits—from muscle strength and bone density to circulation, lymphatic drainage, and yes—even bowel regularity. You'll also hear practical guidance on how often and how long to use a vibration plate safely and effectively—without overdoing it.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: How vibration therapy works and why it's gaining popularity in recovery and wellness spaces The surprising science-backed benefits for bone density, muscle tone, circulation, and digestive support Realistic guidelines for how often to use a vibration plate for optimal results Why this low-impact tool may be perfect for post-treatment recovery or energy conservation   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Whole Body Vibration 02:52 Understanding Vibration Plates 06:05 Scientific Insights on Vibration Therapy 09:04 Benefits for Bone Density and Circulation 11:48 Vibration Plates and Weight Management 15:08 Practical Usage and Safety Tips   Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura Vibration Plate Platform Muscle Strength & WBV Study Bone Density & Vibration Research Circulation & Nitric Oxide Production Balance & Flexibility Study Weight Management & WBV Review   Want More Support?
