In this episode, Molly MacDonald, co-founder and CEO of The Pink Fund, shares her powerful story of being diagnosed with breast cancer while raising five children and facing financial collapse — and how she turned that experience into a movement that has helped thousands of women.

We talk about the reality of financial toxicity in cancer care, why so many women are forced to choose between treatment and income, and how The Pink Fund is changing that.
