POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’ve spent most of my day reflecting on the impact of my beautiful, strong, incredibly intelligent, and sexy (she’d be so upset if I didn’t add it) friend, Amy Steffe Lohmann, who passed away from metastatic breast cancer one year ago today. Listening to the words she boldly shared with our community at an event, I was reminded of my first weeks working with her. Amy’s passion for helping others, particularly her mission to support women battling breast cancer and to fund more research for metastatic disease, was truly inspiring. Her dedication was contagious—you couldn’t help but want to join her in her mission. Even on her toughest days she was still working on her Met Gala SCV to fund research for a cure.

Sometimes, as women, we give up on ourselves and turn to food to numb the difficult parts of life. I’m reminded of who and what Amy was fighting for after she overcame breast cancer the first time. She didn’t just want women to be grateful to be alive; she wanted them to live their lives to the fullest and become the healthiest versions of themselves. Amy was a fitness enthusiast who loved her workout community, cycling, triathlons, skiing—you name it, she did it. An overachiever in every way, Amy’s absence is felt by everyone who knew her. She was a giver, a light, a joy, and a servant of our Heavenly Father.

I’m deeply grateful for the time I had with her and would be honored if you took a moment to listen to her belief in herself, others and her journey with Optavia.

With all of the turmoil going on in the world today, I imagine we can all appreciate how precious and fleeting life is. We get to relish in
each breath we take and every moment that makes up this crazy journey we call LIFE!

Today is metastatic breast cancer day. Ironically, today is the one year anniversary of the MBC diagnosis of my high school friend and sister, Amy Steffe Lohmann. Amy only got 10 months with this predatory disease. Merely four days prior to her diagnosis, Amy was as beautiful and vivacious as ever on stage as she chaired the MetGala SCV. She was selflessly advocating for a disease that she did not even think that she had.

This disease is lonely. At many times I have felt alone in my journey, alone in my thoughts, alone in the world. I reconnected with Amy. She made me feel alive in my disease, validated in my inclination to advocacy; she became my partner. My match. In all areas and all fears and all things fabulous. The kids, the football mom dreams, the golden retrievers, the wish to work and volunteer and be all things for all people. The wish to live and raise children and be grandmas. We shared it all. We shared clothes and shared food and drinks and stayed up all night watching Netflix and working on our futures. Whatever they would hold.

No one is alone. Amy’s wish was for every survivor to feel that he or she is never alone. You matter. Every single person mattered to Amy. She was relentless in her work, generous in her time and a true giver. She wanted every last person to feel seen and heard and taken care of. Amy was a one in a million. She was a unicorn + zebra. She was all of it. I am lost without her. Yet, because of her, I have a reason to keep fighting. Amy was a badass. She rocked every role she ever had and it is no surprise that her favorite role was Mom to Ryan and Allie. Amy- you are missed and we will go on in your honor and never ever say goodbye. #smallcellneuroendocrinecarcinoma #thisismbc #metgalascv #metavivor #mbc

Had the best time last night, supporting a very important cause. 100% of the over one hundred thousand dollars raised goes to research! We are LOSING far too many! #metagala2023 #raisingmoneyforcancer #fight #staystrong #fuckbreastcancer #metastaticbreastcancer #porschedealersanta

Happy Happy Birthday to the AMY-zing @amysteffelohmann! I consistently share how starting Optavia has changed my life but one of the biggest reasons besides losing weight is the community. Optavia gave me what I didn’t even know I needed the most!! I’m forever grateful to @nonmcking2 coaching her friend Amy and seriously match making and setting us up to run, play and party together. Amy and I introduced each other to our friends and expanded our circle. I love her people and she loves mine. On this precious birthday I am going to ask all my people to wish her a Happy Birthday and to also pray for her continued fight against metastatic breast cancer. Pray specifically that her cancer responds to this recent chemo and that she has successful meetings with her upcoming Dr appts. That the Doctors are blessed with the wisdom to best treat her right now! Amy loves everyone and everyone that knows her loves her. Let’s show her our love in prayer so big she feels it!!

🌟”Beyond Breast Cancer” is an OPPORTUNITY granted to 8 breast cancer warriors, including me, by the non-profit @amplify__voices — 🤩

👊🏻An opportunity to stand on stage & deliver an 8- minute TED-style talk about the message we most want to share with the world!

😳We’ve been in the midst of a 90-day speaker training program that has been INTENSE.

It’s made us all dive deep & deal w the myriad emotions of breast cancer.

It’s made me feel emotionally flooded, especially since my physical healing (from surgery 14, 5 mos ago) has been fraught with new complications. 🙁

😰😭I knew I had to resume the deep #traumawork if I was ever to be able to TALK about, let alone give a SPEECH on stage about the things that matter most about breast cancer to me.

So I’ve been doing the work.

And I took a little SM break. 👏🏻

😌And this week I’ve felt a layer of relief.

And inspiration struck me.⚡️💡

I know it’s God reminding me that miracles still happen. This is one.🙏🏻

❓Will you BE THERE for/with me??

🌟It’s in person in Scottsdale, AZ, May 11, 6-8 pm PDT AND it’s also streaming virtually!🌟

👉🏻So EVERYONE who wants to can show your support & unite your voices w ours!

Now I have pesky skin breakouts (? Steroid-induced rosacea) on my cheeks, associated with mask-wearing (which I need to wear at work + I am neutropenic, meaning a type of white blood cell that fights infection is low in me right now…sigh…never fun to feel like you I look “ugly” - but I recognize the more important thing is to #curecancer!
