Episode 209: Doing It Scared w/ Kristina Coccoluto
from Wicked Fearless · host Madison Ciccone
Kristina Coccoluto is an advocate, public speaker, and avid runner. At age 25, genetic testing showed that she had a mutation in the BRCA1 gene that put her at much higher risk than the average woman for breast and ovarian cancer. It wasn't a matter of "if, but when" as her oncologist said. Kristina realized she was empowered to make a difference in her health, but it would require a big sacrifice. She decided to have a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of breast cancer. Post op, running became a metaphor for her comeback story and journey ahead. It gave Kristina the feeling of getting back to herself. Now with half of the Abbott World Marathon under her belt, it's safe to say she's found her stride while inspiring others through her powerful story and showing them that they can do hard things too."I'm no longer runnning from cancer, I'm outpacing it!" ~ KCFollow Kristina: @kristinacoccolutoRead more about Kristina's story HEREFollow Madison: @madisoncicconeWork with Madison 1 x1: [email protected]'s Website: https://madisonciccone.com/Buy the Gratitude Journal on Amazon PrimeRide with her at SoulCycle in Boston
