What does it take to truly pivot when life throws a curveball? In this episode we’re joined by my good friend Christa Nenaber, who opens up about her deeply personal path through a generational battle with cancer. After watching her mother and grandmother face aggressive diagnoses, Christa discovered that she carried the BRCA1 genetic mutation at 25, a marker that substantially shifted her risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Our conversation is a raw look at the grit and grace Christa had to build a life on your own terms. We dive into the difficult emotional layers of her choice to undergo a preventative full hysterectomy and oophorectomy at just 27 years old, followed by a double mastectomy later in life, and the the complex conversations with family about future planning and the hope that her choice stops the cycle of this news for the next generation.

Whether you are navigating a health crisis or looking for the spark to become your own best advocate, Christa’s insights on finding your voice and choosing empowerment over fear will leave you ready to take your next big step.
