EPISODE 8: Elissa Kalver: Fuck Cancer. We Got This.

TW: Cancer

This week, we hang out in the closet with Elissa Kalver. She's a force of nature: a dynamic Mutha who has had many careers, ultimately focusing her high octane energy on the nonprofit she founded, WeGotThis.org, the first-ever nonprofit gift registry for cancer patients. Elissa's drive to squeeze everything out of life is palpable, and while I am certain her metastatic breast cancer diagnosis has propelled her to do more than she ever imagined, I genuinely believe this is who she has always been - a woman who loves a goal. Loves to do good. Loves to spread joy to the people she cares about.

Every week on the pod, I bake for our guests if they come to the closet IRL. For Elissa and her family, I made classic chocolate chip cookies, not too chewy, not too crunchy…justttt right.
