Feel For Your Life Founder Jessica Baladad Joins Dori DeCarlo on Healthy Habits

Jessica Baladad, a five-year cancer survivor who transformed her pain into power, becoming a passionate advocate for women globally.  She founded “Feel For Your Life”, a free mobile application that provides resources on how to perform self breast exams and when to get screenings, while allowing users to track and monitor their changes and set reminders to do self exams. Jessica’s own history with cancer drove her dedication to personally building her app. She first learned how to perform a self breast examination after having a benign tumor removed in college. Jessica was later diagnosed with Stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma.She had found a lump during her routine self exam, and her practitioner had documented it as “normal”.  As a result of her diagnosis, Jessica underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, 24 rounds of radiation, a hysterectomy and 10-hour flap reconstruction.   Upon creating Feel For Your Life, she not only gave women the tools to perform and track routine self breast exams, Jessica built a community where women feel safe and supported to advocate for their own health.  Join Dori DeCarlo on Healthy Habits and connect with Jessica at FeelForYourLife.com and on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
