Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time of reflection and advocacy, and we’re thrilled to welcome back Andrea Nitta to “Step Into the Pivot.” Celebrating Andrea’s two years post-diagnosis, we emphasize the ongoing journey of self-care and management. Andrea’s advocacy work, including her involvement in events like the More Than Pink Walk and her potential pursuit of a board position, showcases the impact one person can have on a community. Her journey from a personal battle to a platform for support will leave you motivated to take action in your own life.

Transitioning from secondary school to new opportunities is another pivotal theme. Andrea shares how this life change opened doors for her to further her advocacy efforts, all while balancing personal and family commitments. The conversation reiterates the importance of collective advocacy and mutual support, encouraging listeners to embrace life’s pivots with confidence. We thank Andrea for her incredible contributions and stories, reminding everyone that sharing your experiences can provide strength and inspiration to others.
