Ep.164 A Game-Changer for Breast Health in Motherhood, Menopause & Cancer Care

Breast pain is one of the most common—and most ignored—issues women face from puberty through post-menopause. In this episode of Asking for a Friend, I sit down with Debbie and Troy Sutton, the inspiring mother-son duo behind The Healing Bra—a revolutionary product offering real relief for breast discomfort through every stage of life.

From painful mammograms and postpartum nursing to menopause and breast cancer recovery, The Healing Bra’s temperature therapy pads are changing the way women manage their comfort. What started as a simple question—"Why isn't there anything for this?"—sparked an invention that’s now easing pain and empowering women everywhere.

Whether you're a nursing mom, an athlete, in cancer treatment, or dealing with hormone shifts, you’ll want to hear how this simple, genius idea is redefining breast wellness and self-care.
