"Leadership is influence." October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I wonder how I can I can influence someone this month to become more aware of their health as a leader. Our health affects how well we can lead. Women struggle with concerns of hypertension, stress, communication, and daily management while juggling the load on the homefront. Living purposefully and restored is possible if we desire to have the future of our dreams. I'll be sharing insightful tips on my livestream and podcasts. Check out the livestream schedule below.

Breast Cancer awareness is special to me because my sweet mother fought a splendid and admirable fight against cancer. Our family did not know much about breast cancer like we do now. We learned along the way. She didn't allow the diagnosis to get her down but allowed it to give her a way to model her faith and strength to her family and friends. The doctors gave her months. Her faith gave her many more years. Her spirit and loving nature inspired doctors, physical therapists, and family.

To be transparent, as a daughter, I had a different battle on the inside. I had a hard time coming to grips with the disease and what was going on with my mother. Little did I know, that I would learn many lessons that would help me to become the better woman and leader that I needed to be. I know that the things that work out for our good, don't always feel good.

I want to encourage all of you this month to find someone to connect with, love on, and speak life into. You never know what they may be going through. We aren't just working a job, career, business, or ministry; we are always moving in our pathway of purpose daily.

Below are some cool resources to read through from the American Cancer Society and the CDC regarding Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines. Please feel free to share with others. As women approach the age of 45 years, it is advised that they begin to take their annual mammograms. That means about the high school graduating class of 1997 guys!! :-)
