I love paddle boarding. It gives me that feeling of peace as well as an opportunity to enjoy nature's true beauty.

I find I really put careful consideration into my friendships with women because the relationships can be so sensitive. Let's face it: some women can be down right catty. This is what makes me cautious, but also what makes my true friendships so dear to me.

There's a difference between reality TV and reality. There's a big difference.

My mom was diagnosed at the age of 46 with ovarian cancer.

I think keeping your family close and having them support you helps you so much, and also having a good man in your life, and I have a lot of great friends too.

My self-deprecating humor may not be as funny as I thought.

Men are much more up-front with their friends. There isn't as much maneuvering, back-stabbing and covert campaigning. It is what it is at face value.

I want all of my girlfriends to enjoy each other because life is too short.

Chemo gets all the notoriety, but for me, radiation was really the tough one.

I feel so blessed. I have two wonderful children, and I'm channeling my energy and my experience to help others.

I'm a spokesperson, and advocate of awareness. So when anything comes up on our bodies - if it's skin cancer or a bump or something we're not certain of - we need to see our doctors.

You never know what's going to happen so just enjoy the moments that you have with the people you love and cherish them. Let them know that you love them and how much you appreciate them being in your life.

I saw my mother go through surgical menopause, and at 35, I wasn't ready for that. I wasn't ready for the complications, like bone loss as a result of early menopause, that my mother had.

If you come into my house, it looks like I went to Costco and Dylan's Candy and every candy store and I just have glass jars filled with chocolate. I just love chocolate.

I would encourage all women to get mammograms when their doctors tell them to.
