It's another sister!!! Our beautiful baby sister Blair is a literal angel in the flesh, inside and out. She's not a baby anymore but she teaches us how to stay young. We all want her skin! So listen in as she gives us tips on aging gracefully. We cover: her favorite sunscreen products, do's and dont's & myths when it comes to anti-aging, holistic skin regimes, and more! Cathey reviews how our hormones fluctuate during a natural, normal hormonal cycle. We often aren't taught what our own bodies are doing and it can help understand breakouts, facial hair, and skin changes thought the month.  Blair is the kindest soul, has a huge heart for others, a fierce faith, and we love to listen to her talk about her passions and professions. Proud sisters right here!

We were so inspired to sit down with these ladies!!! Not only do our stories align in similar ways, but so do our missions! Listen in as we chat with founders and survivors, Amanda Rice and Tracy Weiss on their personal journeys, the birth of Chick Mission, empowering women going through cancer, and letting women know … they have options!! Stay tuned for a special collab with them this summer. These two are a FORCE!!  The Chick Mission idea "hatched" when Amanda's fertility preservation coverage was denied by her insurance company. Staring down a long road of chemo, radiation and long-term drug therapy, Amanda understood the high likelihood of infertility after her treatment and decided to move forward covering the costs on her own. Tracy Weiss is a cancer survivor who was diagnosed with cervical cancer at age 30. Tracy was pretty annoyed when her insurance company denied her claim to preserve her fertility under it being ‘elective’ -- as if having a tumor was something anyone would chose. She remained pretty pissed until The Chick Mission was founded to help women standing in her shoes -- now she gets her revenge every time another woman receives assistance from the organization.  Wouldn’t it be incredible if every single young female cancer patient had the option to preserve her fertility ahead of lifesaving treatment? As a woman who has spent over a decade raising money for a living, Amanda utilized that skill set to help get The Chick Mission off the ground. She jumped down the rabbit hole of necessary paperwork to incorporate and the rest is history. “It is our goal to start educational conversations bringing this issue into the lexicon of the many, advocate on behalf of those who live in states without specific legislation mandating insurance companies cover fertility preservation in these cases and to assist newly diagnosed patients with need based grants to cover the costs of these procedures. Our organization strives to give any affected woman a choice regarding her future family before lifesaving treatment makes decisions for her. We will advocate, educate and fundraise until coverage is the new norm in all 50 states.”  —  LINKS BELOW TO DONATE  https://www.thechickmission.org/ https://www.instagram.com/chickmission/ Connect with us Instagram @talk2mesister_podcast or email us at [email protected].
