In 2014, Samantha Harris was cruising along, living her best life. As the host of Entertainment Tonight, she was a pro at holding space with celebrities to cover all things movies, fashion, awards, and insider gossip… but it was nabbing the hosting gig on Dancing with the Stars that really threw her career into hyper-drive. She hosted DWTS for eight seasons, all while simultaneously building a kick-ass rockstar life as a wife, a mom, and a health & wellness advocate.

And then… she felt a lump. And her life changed.

Just months after receiving a clear mammogram, she felt a lump… and luckily, she spoke up, and subsequent pathology confirmed that she had Stage 2b invasive breast cancer.

But… Samantha’s story is not one about being a victim. It's a story of grabbing life by the you-know-what and making lemons into some serious sweet – but sugar-free!! – lemonade.

Like many of us, Samantha got a crash course in gratitude when her world fell apart… including a whole new take on mindset, miracles, and manifestation. Tune in today to hear it all, plus find out what this six-pack adorned mama does in the gym to look the way she does… because I’ll have whatever she’s having, please!!

*Note: We’ve just wrapped up October, which was Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Even though we’re turning the corner to November, Cancer doesn’t take a holiday, so let today’s episode is a reminder to stay vigilant with your self-checks and self-care.
