A painful mindset she explains, that tells you the money you earn, the accomplishments you achieve, and praise you receive is always insufficient.  Her new book is called...

I was taking a walk at the Kensico Dam in Valhalla, NY when I spotted a woman working out swinging ‘sumthin' in the distance. I was curious what the heck she was doing and wanted to ask her. So, I walked over and saw she was swinging a contraption around her waist and hips, similar to what we used to do as kids with that old Skip-It toy you’d swing around your ankle and jump over with your other leg. 'Weighted Hula Hoops' she said are a Tik Tok Trend. Who Knew? I instantly felt I might need one too! LOL  I got to talking with Dr. Karen Blacks, who said according to her app,...

Random Run In: I met Margie McCartney in the pedicure chair next to me an hour before leaving on my road trip to Canada last week. She was ‘back home’ in Pelham, NY visiting her sweet elderly mom and cracked me up with her story of how her mom had no full-length mirror to be able to check out her outfit, so she climbed up on ‘something’ in the bathroom to see if she looked OK…and then couldn’t get down. Lol. My kind of boomer humor! Anyway, I showed her all my bandaged boo boos, and we laughed about not getting younger, as we must try to, because as we all know if we don’t...

Did you know nearly half of all women aged 40+ who have mammograms are told they have dense breasts? What's a gal supposed to do with that information?  Pay more attention to her breast health for one.

Many women have no clue that having dense breasts can increase their risk of breast cancer.

Dense breasts can also make cancer more difficult to detect on a mammogram, leading to missed or underdiagnosed cancers, which can contribute to breast cancer mortality. 

Bayer Radiology released new survey results that uncovered gaps in knowledge among women with dense breasts, pointing to a greater need for education on this important women’s health topic.

Joining me in this short but important podcast to help educate you are Dr. Pamela Habib; Head of US Medical Affairs, Bayer Radiology and Dr. David Schacht; Breast Radiologist at Northwestern’s Lynne Sage Breast Center at Prentice Women's Hospital.

This is important information for women over 40. Please share it.

PERSONAL NOTE: I'm a Breast Cancer survivor who had dense breasts. I felt a lump and my first stop in my long journey was a radiologist who found the cancer. I'm grateful to still be here so I can educate others.
