Today we’re diving deep into skin health and cancer — not as experts, but through sharing experiences we’d like to help you avoid.

In this episode we talk:

• How baby oil and iodine once were Jan’s “sunscreen” (yes, really) and how that misguided vibe still haunts her skin today
• Jan’s personal skin‑cancer story: from a spot that wouldn’t heal on her forehead to multiple cuts, stitches and scalp scares
• What MOHS surgery is and how it changed how Jan sees—and wears—her skin
• The emotional landscape of having cancer (even non‑melanoma) and living with the “what‑if it comes back” anxiety
• Practical, no‑fluff tips on what to look for, how often to get checked, and how to build skin‑care awareness as you age
• If you’ve ever thought: “Wait, nobody told me this would happen,” then this is for you. We wish someone had said it earlier to us.
• 🎧 Tune in, share with a friend, and let us know your story if skin health or cancer has touched you. We’re in this together.
• Note: We are not doctors. If you have any concerns about your skin or health, please seek professional advice.
