Chrissy Pascua-Povey, a native New Yorker, made the move to the Philadelphia suburbs in 2014 after being recruited to work at a local children's hospital.

Now, the Media area is where she calls home, living there with her husband.

Chrissy's wedding was a magical event that reflected her lifelong creative passions, sparking an idea - to channel these talents into starting her own business.

That business is Pomp + Splendor by Chrissy, a bespoke decorated cookie bakery.

Since launching her business, Chrissy has received much recognition and recently announced that she will be a contestant on Season 6 of the Food Network’s Holiday Wars.

As a passionate crafter, Chrissy was driven by a desire to create cookies that not only taste incredible, but also serve as works of art.

Leveraging her natural eye for detail, color, and design, Chrissy's cookies have earned recognition within her local community and on Food Network's Holiday Wars - a thrilling next chapter in her journey of sweet success.

According to National Breast Cancer.org in 2024, more than 360,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Advancements in early detection methods and support continue to increase the chances of survival.

This week I was joined by a remarkable woman who turned a personal experience into a global mission of comfort and care.

Katelynn Devinney is the founder of Pockets of Hope, a nonprofit organization that creates specially adapted sweatshirts for women recovering from mastectomy surgery.

After her own mother's mastectomy in Jan 2022, Katelynn recognized a simple yet crucial need: a comfortable way for women to manage post-surgery drainage tubes.

What started as a response to one woman's journey has blossomed into an extraordinary movement.

This inspiring initiative is making a real difference in the lives of breast cancer patients across the globe.

If you or someone you know is facing mastectomy surgery, remember that comfort and dignity are just a click away. Visit pocketsofhope.com to request a free specially-designed sweatshirt or to learn how you can support this remarkable mission.

One in eight women will face breast cancer, but early detection saves lives. When caught early, the five-year survival rate is 99%.Don't wait. That 30-minute appointment could give you years of precious moments with loved ones. Call your healthcare provider today to schedule a mammogram.
