Alison Hall learned she was at high risk for breast cancer almost by accident—while reporting on Olivia Munn’s diagnosis. Shortly after, she was blindsided by her own diagnosis at just 31. In this episode of Learned Too Late, Allyn Rose sits down with the Inside Edition journalist and advocate to discuss what so many women only learn after it’s personal.

From early warning signs and self-advocacy to navigating fear, testing, and the emotional weight of “waiting,” this conversation pulls back the curtain on what breast cancer really looks like for YOUNG women—and why earlier, clearer education can save lives.

This episode isn’t about panic. It’s about power, knowledge, and learning the things we all deserved to know sooner.

What you’ll learn:

• Why breast cancer education often comes too late
• Early signs and symptoms women frequently overlook
• How to advocate for yourself in medical settings
• The emotional reality of diagnosis, testing, and uncertainty
• Why awareness isn’t enough—and what actually changes outcomes

This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to be proactive, informed, and empowered when it comes to breast health.
