26 | Don't Be Like Me.
In today's episode, P & Shaun are discussing the passing of BET & MTV legend, Ananda Lewis, and the ensuing social topic of breast cancer prevention. Did she do everything she could to save her life? Is it even any of our business??
Then, P details the long history of breast cancer in her family, and how it affects her auto immune disorder; while Shaun walks listeners through her mother's painful mammogram experiences and how they led to her eventual diagnosis of Stage 4 cancer.
Finally, the ladies touch on The Everything Has Changed Podcast reaching 25 episodes (yay!) and what they have in store for the next 25! Tune in!
