Women’s Health Advocacy

What if the career skills you've spent decades building could become the foundation for a completely different and more meaningful second act? In this inspiring episode #258 of the Second Act Success Podcast, Shannon Russell sits down with Rebecca Bloom, former workplace and benefits attorney, women's health advocate, author, and storytelling coach, to discuss how personal challenges can lead to a powerful career transition and a life filled with purpose. After Rebecca's mother and sister were both diagnosed with breast cancer, she found herself navigating the complex healthcare system as an advocate for her family. What began as a deeply personal experience eventually evolved into a new career helping women across the country advocate for themselves during health challenges. Today, Rebecca is the author of When Women Get Sick: An Empowering Approach for Getting the Support You Need and has spent more than 27 years supporting women facing breast and ovarian cancer through her work with Bay Area Cancer Connections. In this conversation, Rebecca shares how she transitioned from corporate law to women's health advocacy, why storytelling became such an important part of her work, and how women can uncover the skills, passions, and experiences that lead to a meaningful second act career. Whether you're considering a career change, exploring second act career ideas, or searching for more meaningful work, this episode will inspire you to rethink what's possible and embrace the next chapter of your life. 🔗 Get the full show notes at https://secondactsuccess.co/258 LINKS: Book a Strategy Call with Shannon - https://secondactsuccess.co/strategy Free Resources - https://secondactsuccess.co/resources Read Shannon's Book - https://startyoursecondact.com Website - https://secondactsuccess.co Instagram -   / secondactsuccess   LinkedIn -   / shannonrussellcoach   Facebook -   / secondactsuccess.co   Tik Tok -   / secondactsuccess
