About Besties with Breasties Podcast

We started this podcast for people who want support but didn't necessarily want to talk to anyone about what they were going through. We wanted to create something which validates how women feel and provide them information in a fun and non judgmental way. 
 

BETH: When I think about why we started this podcast, it really comes down to connection. We wanted women to feel seen — to know they’re not crazy for feeling every emotion under the sun.

JESS: Exactly. When you’re diagnosed, everyone tells you how strong you are, but nobody tells you how terrifying it all feels — like your world just got flipped upside down.

JAMIE: Or how isolating it can be. You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone.

BETH: That’s why I love what we do. We talk about the real stuff — the awkward, the funny, the emotional — all of it. It’s permission to be honest without fear of judgment.

JESS: And we laugh a lot. Probably more than people expect from a podcast about breast cancer.

JAMIE: But that’s part of healing — finding joy and meaning again in the middle of the hard stuff.

BETH: At the end of the day, we want every listener to feel less alone and more hopeful about what’s ahead. Because thriving after cancer isn’t just possible — it’s the whole point. šŸ’—
