What Does a Chin Hair Have to Do with Female Health Advocacy? Hear Host Spencer Moore's Path from Chronic Illness to Health Advocate

Welcome to the very first episode of The Hairy Chin Podcast! I’m your host, Spencer Moore, here to explore the good, the bad, the hairy and the fabulous of female health. This podcast is a safe space for eye-opening conversations, myth-busting insights and relatable stories that celebrate being female. In this first episode, I’ll be sharing the personal health journey that inspired my path into health advocacy, from chronic illness and depression to autoimmune issues and a breast cancer diagnosis. And of course, those chin hairs! I’ll also share the breast cancer prevention foundation, Know Your Lemons, where I volunteer as a Global Breast Health Educator. This debut episode will set the tone for what’s to come in The Hairy Chin Podcast - open conversations, knowledge, community and a dash of humor, all focused on empowering women. Life takes a village, let’s do this together.
