Share this with someone who has been touched by cancer.

What happens after the diagnosis, when the appointments end, and the real questions begin?

Today I’m joined by breast cancer survivor Kelly Rovetto, the founder of Re-Femme, a cancer support platform created to support women through their active cancer journey.

We talk honestly about the moment treatment becomes real and how fear, overwhelm, and questions around identity, hair, skin, and femininity surface quickly. Kelly shares what it felt like to understand the medical side of cancer yet feel unprepared for everything that happens outside the clinic walls. That gap is what inspired Re-Femme, a resource offering trusted tips, tools, beauty and wellness services, and education designed to reduce isolation and increase connection.

This episode speaks to anyone navigating treatment, survivorship, or caregiving for someone who wants cancer journey support that feels humane, accessible, and grounded in real experience.
