40. When Breast Cancer Threatens to Steal What You Want Most with Gillian Lichota

Welcome to Episode 40 of the Warrior Words podcast!   October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month AND Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I WAS a victim of both and now I am a SURVIVOR. I am dedicating these five episodes in October to: #StompOutBreastCancer and #StompOutDomesticViolence   This week, Gillian Lichota generously shared her incredible story of surviving breast cancer, the lessons she learned, and the journey those cancer lessons took her on. One of those lessons even led her to start a foundation for young women diagnosed with this horrible disease.   Please share these episodes with people in your lives who need to hear them. You may just save a life...   Learn more about Gillian: Website: www.iriseabovefoundation.org IG: @irise_above and @gillian.lichota Facebook: @IRiseAboveFoundation YouTube: @iRiseAboveFoundation   Helpful Organizations: National Breast Cancer Foundation: https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/ Purple It Up: http://purpleitup.org/ 2Live2Cure: https://2live2cure.betterworld.org/ Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ iRise Above Foundation: https://www.iriseabovefoundation.org/   Donate to the Star of the Sea Guild through our fiscal sponsor! https://raisedonors.com/xaviermissionfund/star-of-the-sea-guild   Armor Up.
