About host, Melanie Holscher:

When leadership and business performance coach, Melanie Holscher, learned she had Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer, it sounded more like a sentence than a diagnosis. There always seemed to be more questions than answers. The uncertainty was frightening. Life was interrupted and fighting cancer demanded everything she had and more. Waiting for doctors, test results, and her body’s response to various treatments provided ample time for her mind to slip into unfamiliar darkness.

Tapping into her experience as a success coach working on mindset with thousands of business professionals, Holscher brings the mental game required to fight cancer to the center of attention because that is where it all begins and ends. Through the coaching of her peers and the success principles she internalized, Holscher continues to defy odds and live fearlessly to help the society of warriors she affectionately calls “Ovary Jones”

She detailed her fight and her discovery that mindset truly does impact outcomes so every warrior can tap into the power of healthy thinking. Becoming Ovary Jones: How to Fight Cancer without Losing Your Mind is more than a story. It is brimming with 25 life-prolonging lessons to invade, challenge, and expand every fighter’s thoughts in a powerful, profound way. Because action mitigates fear, every chapter concludes with “Actionable Hope” –things every cancer fighter can do to bolster courage and a healing mentality.
