Young Adult Cancer Survivor Stephanie Scoletti on Finding Your Herd

The cancer journey is a difficult for everyone, but being diagnosed as a young adult brings its own unique set of challenges. Stephanie Scoletti was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) just before her 20th birthday. She changed her career focus from pharmacist to social worker and wants to provide resources and kinship for those in similar circumstances.  For survivors, some friends may not know what to say or do, but others step up in ways you'd never imagine. Her non-profit organization, Young Adult Survivors United, YASU, helps patients and survivors "find their herd" and connect with folks in similar circumstances. Through the pandemic, she's been able to grow her virtual programs and expand her community.  Stephanie also shares stories of two amazing individuals she's been able to work with. Additionally,  Stephanie husband Matt Scoletti hosts a podcast called Livin the DREAM. Matt is a health coach and motivational speaker who helps people learn practical ideas to level up their health, wellness, and energy. D.R.E.A.M. is an acronym that Matt uses that stands for Diet, Rest, Exercise, Attitude, and Meaning. If you own these 5 topics, your life will be FULL OF INCREDIBLE ENERGY!
