Amy’s guest today is renowned TV reporter, Amy Robach. It’s powerful to hear how an unwanted career change led to a segment on Good Morning America that changed Amy's life forever. Actually, it didn’t just change her life…it saved it! You’ll also hear the important (behind the scenes roll) that Robin Roberts played in that part of her story. 

Amy's story is impactful any time of the year, but especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we're grateful for her willingness to share so that others feel encouraged and that nobody ever feels alone. Amy & Amy discuss:

- The power of NOW & acceptance 

- The importance of open conversations about breast cancer

- Emotional challenges women face when making treatment decisions

- Being your own advocate

- Support systems (the role of family & friends) 

- How early detection is EVERYTHING!!

- How cancer changes your POV on every aspect of life

- Resilience & growth

Amy Robach is co-host of the podcast “Amy & TJ” alongside her partner T.J. Holmes (both television news anchors!) Following a live mammogram on "Good Morning America" to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Robach, then 40, received a phone call several weeks later, in Oct. 2013, telling her she had stage 2 invasive breast cancer. Very soon after her diagnosis, Robach underwent a double mastectomy, followed by eight rounds of chemotherapy and then breast reconstruction surgery. She has been candid about the challenges of breast cancer treatment, and equally passionate about the importance of early detection and community building for others.
