Welcome back to another inspiring episode of Baddie 2 Baddie! Today, host April sits down with the incredibly talented and resilient Cara Lockwood, a two-time USA Today bestselling romance novelist turned breast cancer advocate. In this candid conversation, April and Cara dive deep into life after a breast cancer diagnosis- sharing honest reflections on the journey from awareness to action, the emotional rollercoaster of treatment, and the strength found in community and vulnerability.

Cara Lockwood opens up about her own experience navigating breast cancer, from breaking the news to her family to embracing humor and self-compassion along the way. She talks about her latest memoir, "There's No Good Book for This," which offers encouragement, perspective, and real-talk for anyone facing the realities of cancer. Together, April and Cara Lockwood unpack the importance of self-care, the value of support networks, and what it really means to not just survive, but thrive.
