What if the habits driving your success are also making you sick?

In this powerful episode of the Light Up Your Life Podcast, we sit down with Ira Kaganovsky, entrepreneur, speaker, breast cancer survivor, single mom, and founder of FREEDOM. After building a thriving career in finance and launching a globally recognized clean body care brand, Ira's life changed forever when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Through nearly two years of chemotherapy, radiation, and multiple surgeries, Ira discovered that true success isn't measured by how hard you hustle—it's measured by how well you care for yourself while pursuing your dreams.

In this conversation, Ira shares the lessons that transformed her life, from recognizing the hidden ways stress and lifestyle can impact our health to redefining success through resilience, boundaries, and sustainable high performance.
