In this episode, I sit down with Leah Kaskinen, a melanoma survivor and passionate advocate for skin cancer awareness. Leah shares her journey of being diagnosed with stage three melanoma shortly after her son’s first birthday and how it completely changed her perspective on skin health and parenting.
We talk about the misconceptions surrounding skin cancer, the importance of annual skin checks, and how to protect ourselves and our families from harmful UV rays. Leah opens up about how her experience shaped her parenting approach, including her “less is more” philosophy when discussing tough topics with her kids.
She also gives practical tips for prevention, clears up common myths, and highlights incredible nonprofits raising awareness for this often-overlooked cancer. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss—especially if you’ve ever skipped sunscreen or thought melanoma “won’t happen to me.”
Stage III Melanoma Survivor who was diagnosed a year after my son was born. We had to delay growing our family because of the diagnosis. I use little bursts of happiness each day to get me through the hard days. My bursts include coffee, books + audio and SPF.
