We often view our personal traits as being permanent, rather than changeable. This shows up in the way we talk about ourselves: “I’m bad at math,” or, “I’m socially awkward.” But when we buy into the permanence of who we are, we leave no room for growth. In my next newsletter, we’ll talk about the benefits of a growth mindset.

Heartbroken to hear that Susan Love has passed away, age 75. Our understanding of breast cancer — and our ability to confront this relentless and devastating disease — would not be the same without Dr. Love's courageous voice. A cancer surgeon and researcher, Love educated and advocated for breast cancer patients at a time when accurate information was hard to come by, when few people were speaking about it in the media, when treatment options were limited.  She was also among the most prominent advocates for breast cancer research. When my sister began fighting breast cancer in 1992 — and when her cancer turned metastatic five years later — Love became an indispensable source of knowledge, support, and hope. In addition to her medical practice and her writing, Love tirelessly spoke in public, for years — to medical audiences, patient advocacy groups, to women's organizations, and more. Her words were candid and comforting. She was also openly gay, and used her prominence to become a role model and educator by speaking openly about her life as a lesbian. My copy of "Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book," published in 1990, is a dog-eared and treasured presence on my shelf. RIP Susan Love. With love. #breastcancer #womensvoices #womensupportingwomen
