Today's guest is Amanda R. Ferraro, two-time AML leukemia survivor, stem cell transplant recipient, and seven-time brain surgery survivor, who has turned her journey into a powerful mission of advocacy and awareness.
Amanda shares the raw, real, and often unspoken realities of life during and after cancer through her website and work as a freelance blogger. She uses her story to inspire resilience, honesty, and hope in others navigating their own battles.
We talk all about the mental and emotional toll of cancer and chronic disease, how every day is a new day, fighting to survive against the odds, and so much more!!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Amanda's story exemplifies prioritizing your mental health. It's a must listen!
