The Many Faces of Cancer
As a cancer survivor and thriver, I know how important community and support are when you are facing a cancer diagnosis. That’s why I created The Many Faces of Cancer Podcast.
Each week I will be interviewing amazing people with heartfelt and inspirational stories from all sides of the cancer journey: patients, survivors and thrivers, caregivers, family and friends, and professionals. I may even throw in a bonus episode once in a while talking about things that are important to us all.
We never think it will happen to us, until it does. This podcast will be about community, knowing you’re not alone in your journey. It will also be an opportunity for people to share their stories and hopefully help others.
I hope you will all tune in. While it will be cancer stories, we all learn from others and, ultimately, these are human stories, applicable to many other areas of life.

The Power of Knowledge with Genetic Testing with Previvor Tara Garst
Today's guest is Tara Garst, personal trainer, flexologist, and breast cancer previvor. With a long history of breast cancer in her immediate family, Tara got genetic testing and tested positive for BRAC1 genetic mutation. Armed with this knowledge, she was able to make many decisions that were best for her due to her circumstances.
We talk all about genetic testing, the power of knowledge, lifestyle choices to mitigate further risk, the support of those around you, and so much more. Not everyone understands these types of preventative measures, so this is a powerful conversation to share with others.
