Episode 121. Breast Cancer + Business with guest Marisa Corcoran

Jackie recently sat down with Marisa Corcoran and it’s easy to say she is pure inspiration. She wore a clown nose to her breast cancer treatments, bringing humor to the toughest days. Her proactive health approach led to an early diagnosis, reminding us all to trust our instincts and communicate openly with our doctors.

Initially grappling with disbelief and helplessness, Marisa turned to nature as a haven for healing. A trip to Seabrook Island in South Carolina became a touchstone, bringing her solace through seemingly serendipitous encounters with baby sea turtles and even a shark. Marisa found a special sense of peace in embracing her "Moana" spirit amidst the natural beauty of the island. The tranquility of nature played an irreplaceable role in the journey of healing.

Despite everything, she expanded her business, turning Copy Confidence Society into a year-round success. And the nipple mug from her friend? Classic Marisa—finding laughter even in the small things. She’s faced her challenges with grace, humor, and a whole lot of courage. Her story is a beautiful reminder of the strength found in humor, community, and listening to our bodies.
