Johanna Gomez On Staying Calm and Laser Focused Through Cancer

from grownwoman · host Shannon Allen

When Johanna Gomez felt a rock-hard lump on her breast, she did not panic. She had just put in an offer on a new home. Life felt full. Stable. Promising. But the call came fast: it was breast cancer. She was 37. No family history. Three kids. And no space to fall apart. In this intimate segment, Johanna shares what it was like to hold it all in and to protect her children from the weight of her reality. From shock to strength, this is a story about confronting the unimaginable—and choosing to stay grounded, laser focused, and fiercely grown.
