MOTHER ON A MISSION
In a compelling and deeply personal interview, Whitney Reynolds sat down with Kristen Dahlgren, former NBC correspondent and founder of the Cancer Vaccine Coalition. A mother, survivor, and advocate, Kristen is the embodiment of a “Mother on a Mission.” Known for her fearless reporting, Kristen now channels that same tenacity into advocacy after her own breast cancer diagnosis changed the course of her life.
What made her walk away from a high-profile journalism career to fight for a medical breakthrough? Her answer is as moving as it is inspiring.
Their heartfelt conversation dives into the critical importance of early detection, the persistent gaps in women’s health, and how Kristen’s fight became a rallying cry for lifesaving vaccine research.
This powerful episode honors the strength of mothers everywhere, especially those turning their personal battles into a mission to protect others. It’s a tribute to courage, purpose, and the unstoppable force of a mom determined to make a difference.
