Summary

Many folks have faced a diagnosis or will in their lifetime. It changes the course of your life, identity and what you know. Leanne Hainsby may be known for her work as a Peleton Instructor but in January of 2023 she revealed a private journey she had been on with breast cancer. Her story has helped others activate themselves to push for answers and get the right diagnosis. But diagnosis wasn’t the end of the road, as Leanne found herself working through her identity crisis, moving through intrusive thoughts and moving away from perfection to finding joy in the now all while teaching others about self-advocacy, self-care and of course - checking your boobs.
