40. When Breast Cancer Threatens to Steal What You Want Most with Gillian Lichota

Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding the Beauty in the Broken & Thriving After Surviving Trauma

Welcome to Episode 40 of the Warrior Words podcast!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month AND Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I WAS a victim of both and now I am a SURVIVOR. I am dedicating these five episodes in October to:

#StompOutBreastCancer

and

#StompOutDomesticViolence

This week, Gillian Lichota generously shared her incredible story of surviving breast cancer, the lessons she learned, and the journey those cancer lessons took her on. One of those lessons even led her to start a foundation for young women diagnosed with this horrible disease.

Check it out: During the month of October, we offer $200 off the cost of our 2025 Outdoor Adventure Trips. https://www.iriseabovefoundation.org/trips-retreats
