Hereditary Cancer Risk: The Roadmap Patients Have Been Missing | Randi Eichenbaum of MOTA

What happens after you learn you have a hereditary cancer risk?

For many people, the answer is uncertainty. Genetic testing can provide important information, but it often leaves individuals wondering what to do next, which specialists to see, and how to navigate the emotional weight of the decisions ahead.

In this episode, I sit down with Randi Eichenbaum, founder of MOTA, to talk about her personal journey, the gaps she saw in hereditary cancer support, and how those experiences led her to create a platform designed to help people navigate complex medical decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

We discuss the unique challenges facing BRCA carriers and previvors, where traditional healthcare systems often fall short, and why having a personalized roadmap can make all the difference. Randi also shares how MOTA helps individuals understand their options, connect with trusted specialists, and feel supported throughout every stage of their journey.

Whether you're navigating genetic testing, living with a BRCA mutation, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in improving patient advocacy and healthcare navigation, this conversation offers valuable insight and hope.
