Episode #151 with Best-Selling Cara Lockwood

Cara Lockwood is the bestselling author of more than 35 books, including the USA Today bestsellers "The Takeover" and "I Do (But I Don't)," which became a Lifetime Original Movie starring Denise Richards. In 2023, during a routine mammogram, Cara was diagnosed with Stage 1 HER+ breast cancer. She fought back with a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and reconstructive surgery — and went into remission in 2024. Her latest book, "There's No Good Book for This but I Wrote One Anyway: The Irreverent Guide to Crushing Breast Cancer" (Oct. 1, 2025), is the no-nonsense, laugh-out-loud guide she wishes she'd had during her own journey.Part memoir, part pep talk, and part screaming into the void, Cara's book offers patients, survivors, and their loved ones a raw, witty roadmap for navigating the toughest days. Half of all proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Learn more at theresnogoodbookforthis.com and caratheauthor.com.
