    Swag Bags, Supermodels & Second Acts: Elizabeth Harrison on Reinventing a Legacy PR Agency and Herself

    "I think maybe I wish I had enjoyed the ride a little bit more. I was so intense, so driven, so worried about doing it perfectly. I didn't take a moment to understand or be grateful for all the amazing things that were happening in the moment." - Elizabeth Harrison Elizabeth Harrison, co-founder of one of New York's most storied PR and communications agencies, has spent over 30 years shaping the brands and cultural moments that defined an era. From placing Jimmy Choo on Sex and the City to  inventing the swag bag, and elevating Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week to be the brand that became synonymous with th runway. Elizabeth built her career on access, instinct, and a relentless drive to move faster than everyone else.

    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

    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

She is known for integrating her clinical expertise with motivational speaking and coaching, as well as her advocacy for infertility awareness. As a first-generation American raised in a traditional Southeast Asian household, Flora navigated the cultural pressures of checking every box: getting good grades, becoming successful, getting married, having kids, and living happily ever after… only to discover that life doesn't work that way and it was a recipe for burnout. In this deeply personal conversation, Flora opens up about her journey through secondary infertility, the shame and self-blame that came with it, and how mindset coaching transformed not just her approach to fertility treatments but her entire life philosophy. After multiple IVF rounds, transfers, and pregnancy losses, Flora and her husband made the difficult decision to remain a family of three, not out of defeat, but from a place of clarity and peace. Flora shares how approaching this heartbreaking decision logically rather than emotionally gave her the freedom to move forward, and how it inspired her to support other women navigating burnout and perfectionism.
