This Woman Crush Wednesday falls on World Cancer Day, and we’re joined by Vera Nagtegaal - CEO of Vouch SA, leader, mom, and breast cancer survivor.

Under this year’s theme “United by Unique,” Vera opens up about what it really means to live with cancer - navigating diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and still showing up for life and leadership.

An honest, human conversation about resilience, perspective, and how adversity can refine us rather than define us.
