So You Tested Positive for BRCA… Now What?

When I got the call telling me I tested positive for BRCA2, my world stopped. I was sitting in my car, expecting to hear “everything’s fine,” and instead I was handed words that changed my life forever. In this episode, I open up about that moment, the fear, the anger, and the impossible choices that followed—and what it really feels like to live with a BRCA diagnosis.

This is the episode I wish I’d had the day I got the call. Together, we’ll talk about the pain points every newly diagnosed woman faces, the steps you can take to navigate the medical and emotional chaos, and most importantly, the positives of knowing. Because BRCA isn’t a life sentence, it’s a turning point.

“If you’ve just gotten the call and you feel like your world is upside down, pull up a chair, bestie, this episode is for you.
