In this powerful episode, I’m joined by lifestyle writer, editor, and 3-time published author Rachelle Bergstein. Rachelle is a 43-year-old mom to a 9-year-old son, a Brooklyn-based creative, and a breast cancer survivor.
She gets real about what it was like to raise a young child while navigating a life-threatening diagnosis, and how her perspective on motherhood, identity, and ambition has shifted through it all.
Whether you’re in the middle of your own storm or just trying to keep your head above water in motherhood, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and a little more grounded.
