Show Notes

My guest on the podcast is Susanne Lam. Susanne is a self-employed anti-aging consultant and wellness coach. She grew up in Hong Kong and received a degree in Social Work from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Susanne is happily married and has two children.

 We go in detail into Susanne’s story of being diagnosed with double breast cancer, her subsequent cancer journey and where she is today. 

 Susanne shares the story of her diagnosis, her treatment, the support she received during this time and how she now supports other women who are facing breast cancer. We hear in the podcast how she navigated the journey and Susanne offers insights on many aspects including but not exclusively, insurance, screening, support, self-love, sleep, me time and exercising.
