Ep. 977 – How One Woman's Story Can Help Others Facing Cancer with Erica Neubert Campbell (@EricaNCampbell)

“If my mother had had a mastectomy, she would have been alive today. So, I chose the harder path. The harder, tougher, more challenging. Like walking uphill both ways. Path. And it was really scary.” – Erica Neubert Campbell

Today’s featured award-winning bestselling author is a mom, wife, cancer advocate, breast cancer survivor, and the Executive Director at Pinky Swear Foundation, Erica Neubert Campbell. Erica and I had a fun on a bun chat about her book, “The Mastectomy I Always Wanted: A Breast Cancer Memoir”, plans for future books, embracing vulnerability as a writer, and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

Why your story can help others have hope

Erica’s emotional journey through breast cancer and her decision to undergo a double mastectomy

How her experience inspired her to write a book to help other women facing mastectomy and reconstruction

How confronting her biggest fears in writing led to the most impactful parts of her book
