Podcast Episode 408: What You Didn’t Know About Breast Cancer (That Could Save Your Life) with Paula Schneider

When was the last time you scheduled your mammogram—before or after reorganizing the pantry, driving kids to practice, and binge-watching Netflix? Let’s be honest, mammograms sit on the “I’ll get to it later” list right next to flossing every night. But skipping them could mean missing the breast cancer facts every woman should know.

Today’s guest, Paula Schneider, honorary vice chair of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, breast cancer survivor, and author of Love Stays Strong, shares her powerful journey of diagnosis, treatment, and raising kids while fighting for her life. With her blend of honesty and humor, she opens up about the conversations we avoid, the myths we believe, and why early detection is everything.

This conversation is full of the breast cancer facts every woman should know—why mammograms matter more than we admit, how silence can hurt more than honesty with our kids, and what it really means to love your family enough to take care of yourself first. It’s raw, real, and a reminder that while cancer may change everything, love stays strong.

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • How “protecting” our kids with silence can totally backfire
  • Why humor (yes, even during chemo) can be a lifeline
  • What the newest research has to say about breast cancer treatment (it’ll shock you)
  • The best tool you can use to help your kids when a close loved one gets a life threatening diagnosis

Podcast Episode 118: Do We Parent Like Our Moms?

It’s like a rite of passage to wonder- Do we parent like our moms did? Many of us have good memories of our moms and growing up, but then…there are the not-so good things. Maybe it’s the “My house my rules!” parent statement that you heard from your parents over and over again, or maybe it’s how your parents never had any consistency with their rules growing up. No matter what experience we had, one thing is for certain- our parents influence how we parent.
