Episode 30 Repost - 🎀 Marsha found a lump. And she waited. 💔

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this post is personal. But the message is for every one of us. 💗

My mother-in-law, Marsha, had understandable reasons for waiting: fear, a full life, the hope that it was nothing. 💭 But cancer didn't wait, and we lost her. I'm sharing her story because I don't want it to be yours.

On the latest Like A Boss Podcast, I talk about why this matters 👇

🔍 Early detection saves lives. Book the screening. If something feels off, don't put it off. A checkup today could mean more years with the people you love.

👩‍🦰👨 This touches all of us. Breast cancer mostly affects women, and we need to keep showing up for them. But men can get it too, and they're often diagnosed later because nobody expects it. Every kind of cancer reaches into every home and every team.

🤝 Leaders, this is on us. Flexible time for appointments, strong benefits, and honest conversations aren't perks. They're how we take care of our people. Make it safe to say "I'm scared" or "I need a day." 🙌

Somewhere on your team, someone is putting off a checkup right now. A word from you might be the nudge they need. 🫶

🎙️ Please watch the full episode, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

In memory of Marsha. 🌸 We all have a Marsha.
