I had to get out of survival mode—and I have to live. You can do both at the same time.” – CeeCee McGriff

In this powerful replay, I sit down with CeeCee McGriff, a two-time breast cancer survivor and the founder of Survive and Live Life, a nonprofit dedicated to helping others boldly share their stories of survival. From treatments and surgeries to navigating the emotional aftershocks of cancer, CeeCee’s mission is to remind survivors that it’s possible to both survive and truly live.

After receiving her second diagnosis, CeeCee made the courageous decision to undergo a double mastectomy with reconstruction—and in doing so, stepped into a new chapter of advocacy, healing, and joy.

In our conversation, we talked about:

  • Her journey through the toughest moments of her life
  • Learning to live fully after living in survival mode
  • The power of second opinions in healthcare
  • What to say—and what NOT to say—to someone going through cancer
