This episode is not to disparage (in any way whatsoever) breast cancer awareness. I'd never do that! While at the same time I can acknowledge October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month AND point out that there are other cancers out there and ALL are important.

Breast cancer changed the game, so to speak, with bringing out much needed awareness. And that is a wonderful feat; however, wouldn't it be great if ALL cancers got the same awareness as breast cancer?

For ONE life lost to cancer is ONE TOO MANY, no?

Thank YOU for giving me a listen and I hope to have more episodes in the near future where I bring on amazing women that will share their stories. 🩵

Be well. Stay safe. God bless.

Welcome to another episode!

Animals are amazing! My cat, my daughter, my baby, the love of my life is truly my emotional support animal, and I do believe it would have been so much harder to go through cancer without her. I am sure there are a lot of cancer patients/survivors who feel the same. Along with all those that have gone / go through things where animals, well, just make it a little easier to get by. 💓

The other topic is about how things have gotten better with treatment for ovarian cancer. There are more women surviving as it's more and more a chronic disease. And though there is more ovarian cancer awareness today than over a decade ago, more is still needed. I'm happy to help with that!

Thanks for y'all's support! UnTEAL next time! Be well. God bless! 🩵🌻

So, WELCOME to both the month of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and, well, ALSO, welcome to season three!

Last season I ended with eight (8) episodes BUT because we had more guests on Season 2, I extended season two by TWO more episodes. 😉

And here we are -- SEASON THREE! 🥳

And what a way to start it too, as it's a pretty special month for all of us that advocate for more ovarian cancer awareness.

SO much to unpack about this TEALastic month so give it a listen and make sure to: life, rate, and follow and leave a comment if you so wish. It ALL makes a difference

Thank you, always! 🫶🏽

I have (another) wonderful guest for y'all on this one! She is my second guest from the STAAR organization, and her story is in a word: REMARKABLE!

Every woman's story that comes on Teal Time is very much remarkable; however, some stories stand out in a very different way. They are ALL equally important and they are ALL equally worth sharing. NO DOUBT!

Having said that, some stories, like the story that Mrs. Habib is sharing is remarkable in a way that I didn't even know was possible when it comes to having a baby. Join me with giving this new episode a listen. And remember: #knowledgeispower 👊🏽 and #sharingiscaring so, please and thank you share this podcast as this awareness DOES make a difference!😉🫶🏽

Once again, I had the honor to have a beautiful guest for some Teal Time -- Dr. Mitstifer is not just a huge advocate for raising awareness with activities and fundraising, she is also an ovarian cancer survivor herself. Her story (and I am sure I say this about each story) is incredible! But truly, each story is incredible and each story is different. That's why I believe each story is worth sharing. Please join me and give Merdith a listen. She is all about thrivership and moving forward on her adventure (AKA journey) with resilience, hope, optimism, and advocacy. 🩵

If you like what you hear please give this podcast a 5-star rating, follow and click that bell so you can be notified when new episodes drop. Additionally, think about leaving a comment. Please and thank you.🙃🫶🏽

I'm pleased to have gotten to interview and get to know Ms. Kari Neumeyer with the non-profit organization, STAAR. It is an organization that I truly didn't know much about before I saw them on social media.

Ms. Neumeyer is not just someone that volunteers with STAAR but also is a survivor of low grade serous ovarian cancer. A form of ovarian cancer I knew nothing really about ... until this interview that is. 😉

I'm really happy to that she is sharing her story, as well as letting me and you know what STAAR is all about.

Thanks as always for your support. 🫶🏽

Be well. God bless.
