  2. Episode 42: On Living Beyond Breast Cancer ft. Caroline Abi-Khattar

    Season 3, Episode 47

    Show notes

    As breast cancer awareness month comes to a close, Caroline Abi-Khattar, a breast cancer survivor and advocate, imparts her knowledge and resources for women of all ages. She shares her personal journey, highlights what everyone should be aware of in the month of October, advises on advocating for your health, and guides the girls on how to show up for loved ones who are affected by breast cancer. A true embodiment of plurality, Caroline has always been more than her breast cancer diagnosis (and Alex's cool older cousin) — she chats fashion, wine, career, and listening to the universe.
