In today’s show, I continue to recognize October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month as I speak with acclaimed actress, producer, author and activist, Sheetal Sheth, about her experience with breast cancer and what inspired her to write a children’s book called 'Making Happy.' October also raises awareness for Mental Health, so we'll talk about how both conditions – cancer and mental illness – are connected.
