Today we celebrate our 1 year anniversary with a special 2 part episode where April and Monica revisit some favorite episodes and guests from the past year of The Burn! Our goal is to bring the stories of the young breast cancer community to life and to inspire you to use writing as a tool in your own survivorship. We’ve organized today’s special around what we are calling “hard truths of being diagnosed young.” Young is a state of mind, of course, but for our purposes young refers to those diagnosed at least initially under 50 years old. In this special 2 part episode, we will highlight just a few of these stories that we hope are an interesting & entertaining deep dive into today’s young breast cancer community.  We’ll discuss: 

  • The Mom Thing
  • Fertility & Infertility
  • Mental Health
  • The Struggle to Find Your Place in the Community
  • Body Wars
  • Sex & Intimacy

We’ll throw in some dark humor, too!

In honor of our 1 year anniversary, we have a gift for our listeners - a printable journal companion to this podcast with some of our favorite writer quotes and prompts to inspire you to write. Listen to the end for info on how to grab yours!
