161 / Survivorship and Breast Cancer with Virginia Carnesale

Published: Oct. 25, 2023, noon

b"You likely know that October is breast cancer awareness month, and I\\u2019d be shocked if you don\\u2019t have someone you love, whether it\\u2019s YOU or a sister, mother, family member, friend, or colleague that has faced it.\\nAnd like so many things in life, unless you\\u2019ve experienced it personally, at a deep and intimate level, it\\u2019s hard to know what to do, where to turn, and how to get the help \\u2013 both medical, and otherwise \\u2013 you need. It\\u2019s also hard for loved ones to know what to do, what to say, and how to support.\\nI\\u2019ve invited Virginia Carnesale, breast cancer survivor and founder and CEO of Stage to join us today. In 2018, Virginia was diagnosed with breast cancer. Through her 18-month journey to wellness, she couldn\\u2019t shake the feeling that there was an opportunity to better serve other patients and their loved ones with the knowledge, sisterhood and style tips that can only come from those who have walked this road. So in 2022, with her very successful 20-year marketing and merchandising background with companies like Nike, Gap, and Saks Off 5th , she put her ideas into practice and launched Shopstage.co, a resource, support system, shopping and wellness destination to see women all the way from breast cancer prevention to deep inside her experience, with respect for, and recognition of, this uniquely personal journey.\\nPrioritize your health above your busyness, get your mammograms, encourage the women you love to get theirs, support the research, volunteer, donate, do the walks, wear all the pink, and BE THERE for your people.\\nMost importantly, let\\u2019s make sure NO woman ever has to face breast cancer alone.\\nLike what you heard?
