Send us a text As entrepreneurs, we are masters at scheduling meetings, tracking metrics, and building ambitious plans. Yet, one of the most important accountability checks is often the first thing to get skipped: our health. In this eye-opening episode of Be Visible with Veronica, I sit down with Ashley Plum, Executive Director of Check for a Lump, for a conversation every entrepreneur needs to hear — especially as we plan for 2026. When stress is high, calendars are full, and business demands feel nonstop, it becomes easy to delay self-checks, ignore warning signs, and assume we’ll “get to it later.” But breast cancer doesn’t wait. It doesn’t discriminate. And it doesn’t care how successful, driven, or busy you are. This episode is a wake-up call and an invitation: to slow down, check in with your body, and make your health part of your life-and-business strategy — not an afterthought. Because real success isn’t just building the business. It’s protecting the life that makes it all worth it.
