Laura Carfang is the founder and executive director of SurvivingBreastCancer.org and the passionate voice behind Breast Cancer Conversations. A breast cancer survivor herself, Laura launched the podcast to amplify the voices of those navigating life with and beyond cancer — because she knows firsthand how isolating and overwhelming the journey can be.

With a background in higher education and nonprofit leadership, Laura blends her experience as a researcher, educator, and patient advocate to create a podcast that is both heartfelt and evidence-based. She has spoken at national conferences, been featured on WBZ and the Museum of Science Boston, and continues to lead groundbreaking initiatives to expand access to cancer education and support.
