    Hope and Courage: A Survivor’s Story of Rising Strong

    In this episode of Is That Cashmere, we sit down with Bree Schlereth — Pac-12 All-American gymnast, wife of a former MLB player , cancer survivor, mother of three, and survivor of one of the most high-profile abuse cases in sports history. Bree shares her incredible journey of resilience, from battling cancer and supporting a child with a congenital heart condition, to finding her voice as a Larry Nassar survivor and receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. Through moments of darkness, Bree discovered the power of light — literally and figuratively — and now uses her story to bring hope, healing, and empowerment to others. She opens up about her childhood in gymnastics, the pressure and pain of silence, the moment cancer took her voice, and how she now chooses to use that voice as a beacon for others. If you’ve ever wondered how to rise above circumstances that threaten to break you, Bree’s story will remind you: hardship doesn’t define us — it refines us.
