Kate, Stage 2

Kate is a mom, coffee lover, breast cancer survivor, and all-around badass from Houston, Texas. She is a mom to two kids and teaches 8th grade language arts. Kate was first diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in 2019, just three years after her mom's diagnosis. In the midst of treatment, Kate had to face her failing marriage, the death of her beloved family dog, as well as all the trauma a cancer diagnosis brings. But in the midst of it all, Kate discusses how these life changing effects refocused her attention to her kids and her schooling and how she is learning to love life through it all. And how she is doing it all with the support of her parents and her RAD BFB family. In this weeks Behind the Bra Podcast, Kate emphasizes the importance of showing up for yourself and learning to speak up if you feel like you are not getting the help and the care you need; and that being present is what of the best gifts you can give to those around you.
