Cancer doesn't care how put together you are. It will debase you, no matter how "cool and put together" your life looks from the outside, says therapist and coach Sanya Bari.

For this installment of Let's Talk: The Offstage Series, we caught up with Sanya at The Let's Talk Symposium with Your New Jersey Host, Lisa-Marie Falbo to talk about what actually helps when everything else is pulling you out and draining you out. Her answer wasn't a supplement or a five-step plan. It was simpler and harder: find your center. Connect to the place inside you that a storm can't touch.

Even if you're on the medicine and following the regimen, she says, everything goes better when you can do that one thing.

Save this for the next time you feel like you're losing yourself to what you're going through.

Nobody hands you a screening schedule when you turn 21. You're just supposed to know.

We put together what's generally recommended, decade by decade, from your first pap smear to when mammograms and colonoscopies enter the picture to what changes after 50. Before any of it: a primary care doctor. Not someone you see once when something's wrong, someone who actually knows your history.

Screenshot it. Bring it to your next appointment. Ask what applies to you.

Swipe through, then save it for the friend who's convinced she's too busy to think about this yet.

This is general information, not medical advice. Your history, your risk factors, and your own doctor are the ones who actually know what's right for you.

Breast and colon cancer are showing up in women under 50 at rates nobody can fully explain yet. Perimenopause is starting earlier for women who've never heard that word applied to themselves. And pelvic floor health rarely gets brought up in the same breath as your yearly screenings, even though it should.

Swipe through for what a genetic counselor, a gynecologic surgeon, and a health equity leader want younger women to know right now, from family history to the questions worth pushing on in an appointment.

Share with a friend who's been putting off her own list.

35 used to feel too young for a cancer diagnosis. It doesn't anymore.

In our Not Too Young breakout, Dr. Patti O'Brien-Richardson sat down with Shari Ungerleider of JScreen, pelvic health specialist Alissa Alter, cancer advocate Amri Kibbler, and gynecologic surgeon Dr. Jessica Opoku-Anane to unpack what's actually driving the rise in breast and colon cancer, and earlier perimenopause, in women under 50. Genetics? Environment? Better diagnostics finally catching what used to get missed? The panel didn't land on one answer, and that was kind of the point.

What they agreed on: pelvic floor care should be treated as preventative medicine, not an afterthought. Genetic screening comes with real decisions attached, not just a test result. And self-advocacy in a doctor's office is exhausting, invisible work that too many women are doing alone.

Save this before your next appointment.

Let's Talk: The Offstage Series

The end of treatment gets treated like a finish line. It rarely is.

Backstage at this year's Symposium, Melissa Berry, founder of Cancer Fashionista, named something the healthcare system rarely accounts for: the emotional fallout, fertility challenges, and cognitive changes that show up long after the appointments stop.

Her point on peer support stayed with us. Family and friends can love you well and still not fully understand, because they haven't lived it. Connecting with someone who has isn't a nice extra in survivorship care. It is often the missing piece.

This is the kind of conversation we built the Offstage Series to hold. Grateful to Melissa for bringing it into the open, and to everyone who sits down with us backstage and speaks this honestly.

Through Let’s Talk Women’s Health & Wellness, Deb has spent decades raising millions for breast cancer research and empowering women to become their own best health advocates. So proud to see her recognized by a brand she’s loved for years. 💗

"Talking is the first step, and a very powerful one. Voices matter."

Dr. Tonya Smith-Jackson, PhD, CPD, Chancellor of Rutgers University, Newark, said this at our Symposium and we haven't stopped thinking about it.

We're taught to take care of everybody else first. Our own health gets pushed to the bottom of the list, even with the people who love us most.

Talking changes that. Out loud, at the table, with each other.

Save this one for the next time you need the reminder. 💗

Less gatekeeping. More growth.

We took the information out of the hands of the gatekeepers and put it directly in the room with the women who need it. Real health equity starts with real access to information. Knowing what to ask for is the first step to getting the care you deserve.

The headlines had a lot to say about women's health lately. We read all of it so you don't have to.

Nearly half of women are more afraid of a medical bill than a cancer diagnosis. A single mammogram can now predict breast cancer risk five years out. Two hours of strength training a week is doing more for your heart than you'd think. And abortion pill access is still being decided in real time, with real consequences for real people.
We read the studies and sat through the headlines so you get the parts that actually matter.

Save this post and share it with someone who needs it.
