How do you turn cancer at age 19 into something empowering? Alexa Cucchiara is a designer, artist, author, podcaster, and cancer survivor. We talk about her determined and entrepreneurial youth, overcoming nay-sayers, the mental, physical and social toll of her illness, what chemotherapy feels like, how she published a best-selling book at age 22, why she started a podcast, and much more.
