Our conversation with Marina, a  cancer survivor, will lead you through her triumphant story of facing adversity and finding strength amidst the trials. Marina shares her heartrending journey from discovering her diagnosis, the 11 biopsies she endured, and her decision to undergo a double mastectomy. She emphasizes the vitality of genetic testing and the power of advocating for oneself, which goes beyond her personal experience, to strike a chord with anyone touched by this disease.

But it's not all about serious talk. We punctuate our discussion with delightful chats about our furry friends - Kenji and Gino, the pups.  Their amusing quirks bring an element of levity and laughter to our conversation. We also navigate through intriguing topics such as the intriguing complexities of egg labeling, the questionable marketing tactics employed by brands, and the potential health benefits of raw milk.

As we draw our discussion to a close, we venture into the grander themes of life's challenges and triumphs. From unearthing the fascinating world of numerology and its Native American roots to highlighting the significance of positivity and resilience during turbulent times, this conversation is packed with inspiring stories and enlightening discussions. So, come join us for a deep-dive into Marina's empowering narrative of overcoming cancer and finding strength in adversity.
