When Jessica Baladad found a cancerous lump in her breast at 33 through a self-exam, it set her on a path not just to survive cancer but to become an advocate for women's health. She created a platform called "Feel for Your Life" to empower women to overcome fear, and financial barriers to take control of their breast health. In this conversation, Jessica shares the intimate details of her diagnosis journey, talks about why breast self-exams are overlooked, and provides actionable advice for dealing with insurance companies that refuse to cover supplemental screenings.
