We’ve spent the month of October shining a light on the fight against breast cancer. While there are new drug therapies that enable women to live longer, breast cancer statistics remain the same: 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her life time. And every 65 seconds, someone hears the words: “you have breast cancer.” I take the battle against breast cancer very seriously because I am a motherless daughter. My mother Marjorie was only 52 when she died. I was 18 and that loss defined me. Years later, as a broadcaster, I had the opportunity to create a show, and put these women in the spotlight. I did this for selfish reasons: I needed to learn the kind of lessons from them that my own mother couldn’t teach me, because she was gone. I needed to soak up their wisdom, and I have. Their stories have filled my heart. And that quest for inspiring stories continues with this podcast series. In the spotlight: a woman who is a wife, mother, marathon runner, philanthropist and stage 4 cancer survivor. In fact, this exceptional woman is living with 2 stage 4 cancer diagnoses: breast and thyroid. Her success story is based on putting one foot in front of the other, always walking forward, always running toward the finish line and never, ever giving up hope. This is the story of Carol Chaoui of Wellesley, Massachusetts. #wellesley #storybehindhersuccess #16LifeLessons #mydoveproductions

October is breast cancer awareness month, so we’re shining the spotlight on breast cancer survivors as well as women who are on the forefront of providing medical care to women fighting the disease. There was a time when Dr. Julie Silver faced a health crisis of her own. Diagnosed with breast cancer in her 30’s with 3 small children at home, she found herself on the other side of medicine, as patient, not physician. Her story from surgery through radiation, chemo, and recovery is not unlike any other woman’s brave battle with the disease, except for one thing: this woman specializes in rehabilitation and when she heard the words: “you’re okay now, go ahead and live your life” she was overwhelmed. Exhausted and depleted from fighting breast cancer, this exceptional woman recognized that she needed to use her knowledge as a respected authority in the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation to blaze a trail that would improve care and outcomes not just for breast cancer survivors, but for people recovering from all kinds of cancers. Now the Associate Professor & Associate Chair in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Julie Silver is the author of multiple books, including Before & After Cancer Treatment. #storybehindhersuccess #16LifeLessons #mydoveproductions @MAHealthHosp #ThinkPink #WallsDoTalk #QuoteHer

The road toward success has not been straight for Anne-Marie Aigner, but then again, she believes that LIFE is not a straight line and the real key to success is simply to never give up. In this episode, we explore the career path of a woman who began as a broadcaster working for CBS in Paris, France and then in New York City and Washington, DC. She loved the excitement of breaking news and chasing stories, but when she became a single mom, Anne-Marie decided to use her writing skills and her connections to create her own PR agency. When it was clear she needed an extra set of hands, Anne-Marie invited her best friend, Janet Prensky to join the company, eventually creating Aigner/Prensky Marketing. Thirty-five years later, her business continues to thrive and now includes Food Truck Festivals of America. The proud daughter of international photojournalist Lucien Aigner, Anne-Marie has spent the last 20 years chronicling, organizing and finding a home at Yale for a body of work that includes over 100,000 photographs taken between 1920’s and the 1950’s including candid photos taken during World War II of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Winston Churchill, as well as up-close and personal shots of Albert Einstein taken at Princeton University. This daughter, mother, grandmother, PR pro, friend, and philanthropist has lots of wisdom to share about the power of adversity and the value of finding a way around obstacles…even if it takes a while! #storybehindhersuccess #16LifeLessons #mydoveproductions @LizBrunner @FTFofAmerica
