Healing Through Stories With Diane Simard
from Your Next Business Bestie Hosted by Jenn Wayboer Hartt
After facing a life-changing cancer diagnosis, Diane Simard realized survivorship didn’t come with a script that fit. So she wrote her own. In this episode of Your Next Business Bestie, Diane shares her journey as a Stage III breast cancer survivor, business executive, author, and unapologetic disruptor of the pink ribbon narrative. We talk about the emotional side of survivorship that often gets overlooked, the power of being misunderstood, and how Diane found healing through writing, advocacy, and boldly sharing her truth. She opens up about founding the Center for Oncology Psychology Excellence (COPE), navigating grief, and why she’s so committed to speaking up for the ones who can’t. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by labels or like your story doesn’t match what people expect, this one’s for you.
