Episode description

This next guest says women have to be their best advocates.

During her breast cancer journey, she fired her doctor, fought with insurance companies (and won). And most importantly, she beat breast cancer. But not before throwing a party for herself while in the hospital.

Since then, Emma Jacobs has gone on to raise thousands of dollars for different breast cancer organizations through the Emma Jacobs Breast Cancer Foundation, including The Rose.

During this episode, you'll hear about the encounter that led to the firing of her doctor, what it's like to have breast cancer as the mother of a young boy, and how she champions other women during their journey.
