Cancer doesn't just challenge the body; it tests the mind and spirit. Our in-depth conversation delves into the psychological turmoil following a cancer diagnosis and the numerous factors that may heighten our risk for the disease. Dr. Papas and Julie discuss the role of genetics, lifestyle choices, and even the possible influence of COVID-19 on cancer progression. They ponder the delicate choice between health span and life span, understanding the profound implications of treatment decisions. Join us as we share inspiration and guidance for anyone looking to empower their health and make positive strides towards longevity and wellness.

Have you ever listened to the silent whispers of intuition? Nicole Tanner did, and it's a decision that saved her life. Our guest on this week's MOJO Rising, Nicole Tanner, is no ordinary entrepreneur; she's a cancer survivor whose story is a rallying cry for early detection and self-advocacy in healthcare. Together, we explored her serendipitous mammogram at 37, which led to a diagnosis with no preceding symptoms or family history. 



Nicole's battle with cancer paved the way for her to create Swig, a company that's more than a beverage shop - it's a hub of human connection and a source of joy for many facing their life challenges. Our conversation traverses the emotional landscape of giving through her initiative, Save the Cups, and the uplifting impact of community support. Whether discussing the financial burdens of treatment or the simple, profound joy found in a shared cup of happiness, Nicole's journey is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and generosity.



As you listen, you’ll be inspired by Nicole's philosophy of intertwining business with compassion. Swig isn't just a testament to her triumph; it's a reflection of what we can do when we channel our struggles into positive action.
