    "It's okay to be afraid, but you deserve to have as much joy as you have fear." — Dr. Katie Huey-Harrison Dr. Katie Huie Harrison is the founder of Undefining Motherhood, a research-informed brand helping moms reduce the mental load of pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Known for giving moms emotionally validating and practical support, Katy has been featured on Good Morning America, The Tamron Hall Show, CNN Headline News, and NBC. As a parenting researcher, speaker, and mother of two, she brings both clinical depth and raw personal honesty to every conversation because she has lived the very experiences she helps other women navigate. In this deeply personal episode, Katy opens up about the four pregnancy losses before the birth of her son and the debilitating postpartum anxiety that stole her memory of his first year. She shares how the sudden loss of her father and her biggest support system, compounded the already crushing weight of caregiving, and how she is actively working to retrain her brain to find joy again. She also unpacks the research behind mom guilt, why over 90% of mothers report feeling guilty about parenting decisions, and what that number actually tells us about the culture we're living in. This episode will make you feel less alone, more human, and more willing to give yourself the grace you wouldn’t hesitate to give others.

  2. How Ripley Rader Turned Fierce Joy into a Fashion Empire

    How Ripley Rader Turned Fierce Joy into a Fashion Empire

    "I have a mantra: here I go, boldly and terrified. Of course you're terrified but that does not stop me from going boldly. I just hold them both, and move forward." -Ripley Rader Ripley Rader is the founder, designer, and namesake of Ripley Rader, the women's fashion brand beloved for its effortlessly chic, body-inclusive designs that are as comfortable as they are stylish. A trained musical theater performer who studied at NYU and danced on Broadway, Ripley discovered her calling in fashion when a buyer from Fred Segal spotted the jumpsuit she'd sewn herself and offered to launch her, if she could manufacture in the US for under $200. From that single moment of serendipity in 2012, Ripley built her brand brick by brick alongside her husband Ben, growing Ripley Rader into a nationally recognized fashion label with a 10,000-square-foot headquarters in Downtown LA and a loyal community of women who show up both fiercely and joyfully.  In this episode, Ripley opens up about the "god nods" that guide her decision-making, why she's turned down every investor to protect her freedom, and how a chance encounter at a concert changed the entire trajectory of her life. She shares the story behind her "fierce joy" brand philosophy, what it really means to mentor young women with "delusional self-esteem," and why she believes there's no comfort in growth. What we explore in this episode: (01:49) How the Ripley Rader brand was born—from musical theater to a Craigslist sewing room (05:01) Choosing not to have children, and still building a family (09:22) The tools Ripley shares with young women: trust yourself, look inward first (19:59) Why founders must become the face of their brand (22:31) The Today Show pinch-me moment that changed everything (26:06) Fierce joy and the power of taking up space Connect with Ripley: @ripleyrader on IG ripleyrader.com Connect with Nathalie: @AllOverAgainPodcast on IG AllOverAgainPodcast.com

    3 Breast Cancer Survivors. Nothing Held Back. Celebrating 30 Years of BCA.

    The Breast Cancer Alliance launched its 30th anniversary celebrations with a live recording of All Over Again Podcast—an emotional and deeply personal afternoon spotlighting the realities of breast cancer survivorship, resilience, and growing cases among younger women. Recorded live, this conversation in collaboration with the Breast Cancer Alliance is unlike any other episode of All Over Again. The conversation featured survivor-advocates Miranda McKeon, Sarrah Strimel-Bentley, and Kiley Dunham-Castricone who sat down with Nathalie to share what cancer actually looks like from the inside: the chaos, the clarity, the unexpected humor, the joy that exists even in the darkest moments, and what it looks like to begin again.  Kylie Durham-Castricone is a four-time metastatic breast cancer survivor, artist, and mother of two. When she was diagnosed with leptomeningeal disease, a rare form of cancer that infiltrates the spinal fluid, she was given three months to live. Today, she is cancer-free and a thriving artist - her story is proof that the worst thing that ever happens to you can become the foundation for your purpose. . Former Broadway performer Sarrah Strimel Bentley is a fertility preservation advocate, yogi, founder of A Chance for Life, and mother to a miracle son, Chance. Diagnosed with stage two invasive ductal carcinoma at 38, Sarah navigated breast cancer, a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and surrogacy simultaneously. Her nonprofit gives full surrogacy grants of $150,000 to breast cancer survivors who cannot afford to carry their own pregnancies, ensuring that women fighting for their lives don’t have to give up on the family they’ve dreamt of.  Miranda McKeon is a content creator, actress best known for her role in Anne with an E, and breast cancer awareness advocate who was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer as a 19-year-old college student. She is now 24, cancer-free, and one of the most compelling young voices in the breast cancer space. Known for her refreshing honesty, Miranda has turned her platform into a resource for young women who are told breast cancer isn't something they need to think about yet. This episode is at once heartbreaking and hilarious, deeply practical and profoundly moving. It is a reminder that beginning all over again doesn't always look the way you planned and that hardship and joy can coexist.  Held at Bosco’s Bar & Grill in Old Greenwich, the event marked the first-ever live recording of All Over Again Podcast and served as both a celebration of the Breast Cancer Alliance’s 30 years of impact and a reminder of the power of storytelling to foster awareness, connection, and healing. The afternoon was made possible thanks to Kiley Dunham - Castricone, support from event partners and supporters:, Ginni Media, Bosco's Bar & Grill, Selvara Media, Bar Vida, and Perrier Jouët,  What we explore in this episode: (00:38) Welcome from the Breast Cancer Alliance: 30 years, $40 million funded (05:44) Kylie's diagnosis: breast cancer twice, leptomeningeal disease, three months to live, and two babies at home (06:52) Sarah's story: falling in love, buying a house, and finding a walnut-sized lump (09:45) Miranda on being diagnosed at 19 and the one thing she was most afraid of losing (15:23) Sarrah on how fertility preservation gave her Chance  (21:31) Navigating motherhood through treatment: what it actually takes to keep going (23:45) How a gifted box of art supplies from Kylie’s mother, helped her begin again  (31:23) Sarrah, Kiley, and Miranda on finding purpose after cancer (38:49) What to do when someone you love is newly diagnosed with breast cancer Learn more about the Breast Cancer Alliance.

    Joy Mining, Breast Cancer, IVF & the Fertility Miracle Named Chance: Sarrah Strimel-Bentley on Living Out Loud

    "Mine your joy. Not in this toxic positivity way, but mine your joy. Life is gonna keep lifeing. But there always is, I promise you, joy through those times." — Sarrah Strimel Bentley Sarrah Strimel-Bentley is a former Broadway performer, women's health advocate, yoga entrepreneur, and founder of A Chance for Life, a nonprofit that funds the full surrogacy journey for breast cancer survivors. Diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at 38, Sarah navigated chemo, a double mastectomy, ovarian removal, and two rounds of IVF before ultimately welcoming her son Chance via surrogate. Known for her trademark concept of "joy mining," Sarah has built a life around turning toward pain rather than away from it and helping others do the same. In this raw, joyful, and deeply moving conversation, Sarah bares all: growing up as a self-described perfectionist who secretly battled anorexia, building and closing yoga studios, finding the love of her life at 38, and discovering a walnut-sized lump in her breast while walking her  dog nine  months later. Sarah shares how the muscle she built on Broadway, tenacity, resilience, the ability to pivot, is the same muscle that carried her through breast cancer treatment, the IVF journey, and her surrogacy journey. She also opens up about 120 days of sobriety, writing her memoir-in-progress, and why right now, in this season of life with a two-year-old, that is more than enough. What we explore in this episode: (00:48) How Sarah wants people to feel after spending 10 minutes with her and the origin of "joy mining" (07:47) The yoga practice that saved her body, healed her eating disorder, and prepared her for the fight of her life (17:21) Confronting a changing body after breast cancer — and not forecasting the worst (24:47) The dog walk that changed everything: finding   a ump and advocating for her health  (30:44) Life after diagnosis: why she'd tell her former self, "You did it right, sister" (45:38) A Chance for Life: the nonprofit born from her $150K IVF and surrogacy journey (48:48) Sobriety, survivorship, and what it really means to start all over again (54:07) Parting words: mine your joy, build your community, and keep going Connect with Sarrah: @SarrahStrimelBentley on IG A Chance for Life Foundation Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn

  8. They Said It Was Terminal. Kiley Durham - Castricone Beat Breast Cancer, Brain Surgery, Complications, and the Odds.

    They Said It Was Terminal. Kiley Durham - Castricone Beat Breast Cancer, Brain Surgery, Complications, and the Odds.

    "We don't have control of the number of days we are on this planet. We should embrace it, love it, and live it the way we want to be remembered." — Kiley Durham - Castricone Kiley Durham is an artist and designer turned breast cancer advocate whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. At 21, Kiley moved to New York City for a fashion internship and never left — going on to work with renowned designer Kay Unger, heading the evening design department, and building a career in fashion design and jewelry consulting. In 2017, three months after the birth of her second child, a lump that doctors initially attributed to mastitis turned out to be stage three triple negative breast cancer. What followed was a years-long battle that included a bilateral mastectomy, brain surgery, a rare and often times fatal cancer complication called leptomeningeal disease, a breast cancer recurrence, and a total of six years on treatment. Today, Kiley dubbed by her physicians as “a unicorn,” is two and a half years cancer free, enjoying motherhood, and channeling her experience into advocacy work with the Breast Cancer Alliance and the YWCA. In this deeply moving episode, Kiley shares the full arc of her cancer journey, from the discovery of breast cancer, to the moment she blacked out in her New York City apartment and woke up to the news of a brain tumor diagnosis, to the devastating conversation with a doctor who had tears in his eyes as he gave her  the prognosis of LMD. Kiley also reflects on how to support others with a cancer diagnosis, and the collateral damage of cancer — surgical menopause at 37, osteoporosis, brain fog, and the emotional toll on her family — and why, despite everything, she would do it all over again. What we explore in this episode: (08:35) The breast cancer diagnosis that came three months after her daughter was born (10:03) Emergency brain surgery: waking up with 30 staples and a walnut-sized tumor (27:32) The rare diagnosis Kiley received with a three-month prognosis (35:07) The immunotherapy that changed everything and has given Kiley two and a half years cancer free (40:11) A second breast cancer diagnosis in 2021 and six years of continuous treatment (52:12) How Kiley grieves the person she was before cancer Connect with Kiley:  @kdurham_artanddesign on Instagram  Website Breast Cancer Alliance Cycle for Survival Connect with Nathalie: AllOverAgainPodcast.com @AllOverAgainPodcast LinkedIn
