    34 Years and Still Standing with Sharon Sigler

    In this powerful episode of Ova It, host Kim Emory sits down with Sharon Sigler—a 30+ year ovarian cancer survivor, 35-year veteran of the Atlanta advertising and radio industry, and a dedicated 10-year board member of the Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance (GOCA). Sharon takes listeners back to October 1992, when an unexpected, grapefruit-sized yolk sac germ cell tumor ruptured at just 34 years old. She shares the harrowing story of internal bleeding, emergency surgery, and what she considers a true "God intervention" that saved her life. Sharon opens up about the journey that followed—from navigating the odds to welcome her miracle daughter, Lauren, to co-founding Gilda’s Club Greater Atlanta in 1998 to ensure cancer patients and families received the essential psychosocial support missing from standard care. Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis, walking alongside a loved one, or celebrating long-term survivorship, Sharon’s wit, wisdom, and 34 years of thriving will inspire you to find your own strength and give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.

    The 10-Year Mark with LaTanya Ingram

    In the first episode of Ova It, host Kim Emory sits down with LaTanya Ingram — global technology product leader at Ernst & Young, 10-year ovarian cancer thriver, Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance board member, and proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. — to have the real, unfiltered conversation about life after an ovarian cancer diagnosis. LaTanya shares how she received her stage 2B endometrioid ovarian cancer diagnosis in 2016, how she kept working through treatment, and how she leaned on faith, community, and a relentless drive to keep moving forward. From telling her 11-year-old daughter the news, to blogging her journey Beyond the Lights, to earning a promotion just weeks after finishing chemo — LaTanya's story is one of resilience, purpose, and joy. Kim and LaTanya also get candid about the emotional weight of survivorship, rebuilding identity after a life interruption, showing up as Black women in ovarian cancer spaces, and what it truly means to be kind to yourself. If you're a thriver, a care partner, or someone just starting your ovarian cancer journey — this one's for you.
