Flat Out Truth
Flat Out Truth
Jill Caporlingua
In December of 2017 my whole life changed with four words, ”You have breast cancer.” In the shock of it all, I had 3 weeks to decide what kind of reconstruction I’d choose after the double mastectomy that would save my life. In a daze of appointments I came close to choosing implants, but I’m so thankful I opted out and am now enjoying the flat life! I want to help other women with their decision and life moving forward. There’s far too much pressure to conform to standards of beauty that may not be the best choice for your health. Info, guests, a touch of humor, and the Flat Out Truth.
The Flat Out Truth on PINK Washing!
In this episode I examine the concept of “pink washing” and urge people to do their research and look below the surface before giving to charities and buying pink products. We can still love pink if we choose, but there may be more to pink than meets the eye. #pinkwashing #pinkwash #notputtingashirtonit #flattiesuntie #flatlife #flatouttruth --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
