The lump that changed everything.
“What does it mean to keep showing up when life completely changes course?
In this powerful episode of Showing Up Stronger, I sit down with Helen Addis—former ITV executive producer, mum of three, breast cancer survivor, founder of the Change + Check campaign, and newly awarded MBE recipient.
Helen shares the raw reality of building a successful career in television, navigating redundancy after 25 years in the industry, and the life-changing moment she discovered a lump that led to a breast cancer diagnosis at just 39 years old.
Together, we talk about:
• Resilience, motherhood, identity, and grief
• Finding humor and perspective during cancer treatment
• Health advocacy and trusting your instincts
• Why strength is just about taking the next step, even when you're scared
Helen's honesty and perspective are deeply moving. From raising three young children through treatment to creating a campaign that has saved hundreds of lives by detecting cancer early, this conversation is a beautiful reminder to prioritize your health and never underestimate the impact of showing up for yourself.
