Sally’s main areas of interest are sharing her lived experience through storytelling, media advocacy, and representing Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC) at events.
Sally Joy Wolf has been dancing through “cancerland” for nine years, including seven as a metastatic breast cancer thriver. After two decades as a media industry executive, she now combines corporate insights, a deep expertise in positive psychology, and lived experience with resilience to deliver impactful keynotes and workshops that help individuals and teams flourish.
She holds degrees from Harvard and Stanford, has been featured on “Good Morning America,” “Oprah Daily,” and “Cosmopolitan,” and has lobbied on Capitol Hill and been invited to the White House. Her MBC journey was even featured in a Netflix documentary on pole dancing (!). But her most meaningful title is Auntie. True to her camp counselor roots, Sally brings childlike wonder, creativity, and community into all she does — especially her magical adventures with her nephew, Ryan, and nieces, Alex and Andi. According to them, Auntie is a big kid who loves rainbows, unicorns, and hearts, plans epic dance parties and sleepovers, and leaves a trail of glitter wherever she goes.
All too often, the messaging around breast cancer suggests we will be cured or we will die, omitting the important and growing space in between where I am lucky to be thriving. More than anything else, I hope my work with LBBC helps illuminate this third lane.
