Performance coach and writer Emma Jarrett was diagnosed at 51 with lobular breast cancer. In this episode Emma reads her essay “Traveling With Pets” from the 2023 “Travel & Adventure” issue of Wildfire.  Emma’s story is about those first milestones after a cancer diagnosis, and using humor to cope.  April and Emma will talk about where Emma now stands with her breast prostheses, how numerous conversations and grieving helped her come to terms with losing her breasts, the choices cancer takes away in its immediacy, and the shame Emma felt around losing her breasts.  They will also discuss the writing process of making Emma’s one-woman play Breastless.  Additionally, Emma will share how breast tissue is attached to her body, heart, soul, and intuition experiences.
