Episode #39: What you need to know about the BRCA gene

I was so honored to share my full story about the BRCA gene and my decision to get a preventative double mastectomy later this year on my friend Jen Wille’s podcast a few weeks back and I knew I needed to share this conversation with all of you. This is the most vulnerable I’ve felt all year. And I would not be me if I didn’t share that with you. So here goes. Dig in, and if you have any questions about anything I talk about, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am always here for you. Here are a few things we discuss in todays episode: My one non negotiable to start my day every day The power (and fear) attached to sharing stories while navigating it in real time My intention word of 2018 and the irony of it all The ins and outs of the BRCA gene and how it impacts women vs. men Navigating the idea of having kids now The options for reducing your risk when you have the gene Facing things you’re absolutely terrified of head on Talking about my BOOBS in detail The exact surgery I’m getting
