We are revisiting our conversation with Olympic gold medalist and ski mom, Kikkan Randall, about her journey with breast cancer and her mission to raise awareness. Kikkan shares her personal story, from her shocking diagnosis just months after her Olympic triumph to the resilience and strength she discovered during her treatment.

Kikkan offers valuable advice for women on how to prioritize their health while managing busy lives, and the ways her experience has changed how she approaches life as a mom, athlete, and advocate.

Each year, over 280,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States alone. Here are three key things you can do to help:

1. Get screened regularly. Early detection is crucial. Schedule your mammograms and encourage your friends and family to do the same. The earlier breast cancer is found, the more treatable it is.
2. Know your body. Stay in tune with any changes in your breasts, such as lumps, pain, or skin changes. Trust your instincts and seek medical advice if something feels off.
3. Support each other. If a friend or loved one is going through a breast cancer diagnosis, be there for them. Whether it’s offering emotional support or helping out with daily tasks, small gestures make a big difference.

We hope this episode has been a reminder to take action for your health and the health of those you love. Thanks for listening, and we’ll catch you next time on the Ski Moms Podcast. Stay healthy and keep hitting the slopes!
