Episode 6 of the Intersection of Cancer and Life features Emily Hopper, the mama, artist, advocate, and breast cancer survivor behind alternative breast cancer awareness apparel brand, EMPOWERHAUS. She is also the founder of Flatties Unite, the popular Facebook group for women living with fewer than 2 breasts. Emily was diagnosed with stage III triple negative breast cancer at 31 years old, after being misdiagnosed 14 months earlier. Emily has recently completed 13 rounds of IV chemo, a double mastectomy with flat reconstruction, 30 rounds of radiation, and 8 cycles of oral chemotherapy and lives in Wisconsin with her husband and young daughter. Emily and I talked a lot about the challenges of navigating a breast cancer diagnosis with young children, as well as the recent publicity surrounding the flat community, both from Catherine Guthrie's new book FLAT: Reclaiming my Body after Breast Cancer, and an article featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine detailing the rampant sexism in breast reconstruction decisions.  As a special gift to listeners, EMPOWERHAUS is offering 15% off with the code EMPOWER15 - orders need to be in by November 30th in order to assure delivery in time for Christmas.

006: Emily Hopper (mama, artist, advocate and breast cancer survivor)

World, what's good?! In this episode, I interview Emily Hopper, founder and CEO of Empowerhaus, a women's breast cancer empowerment apparel company. Listen in as we discuss how Emily channeled the pain of a cancer diagnosis into helping others cope with smart, uplifting shirts, mugs, and bags. All while forgoing reconstruction, which has led her to represent women affectionately known as "flatties."  This episode is PACKED with resources, as well as a special discount for listeners of The CanSurvivor Podcast! Use code 'CANSURVIVOR' at the checkout to receive a 15% discount! By supporting Empowerhaus, you are supporting a cancer survivor directly. It's a win-win for all!   Not only do we discuss Empowerhaus, but we also go into detail about how our diagnoses have changed us mentally and emotionally. As a new first-time mother, wife, and Entrepreneur, Emily has had to maintain a very steady balance. I was so touched by her vulnerability, spirit, and optimism during our chat. Another powerful takeaway from our interview is about intuition. Her journey has been filled with intuitive nudges that have led her on a painful, yet beautiful path. She does not mince words, and fully embraces exactly who she is. We could all learn a thing or two from her!  DON'T FORGET TO FEEL IT ON THE FIRST!  Links: Self Breast Exam Empowerhaus Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid Beth Fairchild Flat &amp; Fabulous Flatties Unite AnaOno Intimates Empowerhaus Instagram Emily Hopper's Instagram Wondering why the website is down? It's being redesigned and reimagined. Extra special thanks to Joe Coutcher for all of his hard work! As soon as the launch date is concrete, I will let you know. Transcripts of episodes are on their way!  Hello to all of my new listeners! Hope to see you in Columbus on July 7th, 2018 for the Second Annual Outlaw Saloon event.
