To kick off our focus on parenting and working while living with MBC, our co-host Natalia Green spoke with the inspiring badass MBC advocate and author, Adiba Barney.  Adiba’s life has been worthy of a book for a while and we are grateful she has written: “When Life Hands You Cactuses, Make Margaritas”.  Grab your beverage of choice and join us to hear how Adiba navigated two early-stage breast cancer diagnosis at age 27 and then 30, then her MBC diagnosis at age 37.  She talks about her 15-year quest to become a mother and her passion for “living life like there is no tomorrow and like [she’s] gonna live forever.”
