Carly Moosah shares her powerful and deeply personal journey through breast cancer and discovering her BRCA mutation a diagnosis that came in the most unexpected way.
We talk about the realities of genetic testing, the weight of big medical decisions, and what life actually looks like after the initial treatment ends. This isn’t about bouncing back it’s about rebuilding, mentally and physically, and finding your own way forward.
An honest conversation about fear, resilience, and learning to live again after cancer on your terms.
