As we commemorate International Women's Day 2024, Leyna Marie Topete encapsulates the essence of faith, a positive mindset, resilience, and more! Her story is rooted in the personal touch of her mother's battle with breast cancer, a retired United States Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant who unfortunately passed away on September 11, 2019. Leyna paints a vivid picture of succeeding against all odds, including choosing this podcast to publicly reveal her recent diagnosis of stage 1 breast cancer, the emotional impact, and how she is using it to inspire other women. This dynamic discussion peels back the layers of what it means to be a woman at the front lines of change—balancing hard work, faith, and the kind of determination that turns obstacles into stepping stones.
