Host of Breast Cancer Stories, Former Teacher

In 2020, Kristen, an empty nester in her late 50s, moved from Austin to San Diego to start her life over after a life-shattering workplace trauma. A few months later she had that terrifying moment in the shower we all hope we never have. If you’ve just been diagnosed with breast cancer and have no idea where to turn, this podcast is here to help you through the shock of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Kristen had no breast cancer symptoms. The routine mammogram she had a few months earlier, which is the standard breast cancer screening, was completely clear. She found her tumor only because it had reached the surface of her skin. And in that moment, her entire world changed. One of the most detectable breast cancer signs is a lump in the breast or underarm, and Kristen found hers in the shower.

In Breast Cancer Stories, Kristen brings her full authentic self to every episode to reveal the things we never hear about having breast cancer.
