I love paddle boarding. It gives me that feeling of peace as well as an opportunity to enjoy nature's true beauty.

What I most hope is that Kelsey and I can improve our communications and truly co-parent our two wonderful children.

Being a spokesperson for cancer awareness has been a passion of mine. It helps me in my recovery but also helps others.

I unfortunately tested positive for Lynch Syndrome, so I have been checked at least annually and sometimes twice a year.

It is difficult to not let the circumstances define you when everyone feels they know your personal struggles and agony.

Having a mother with an illness and being there for her, and being there for my children I just realize how precious life is.

I'm a spokesperson for the foundation for women's cancer, so I will continue to raise awareness and help those that need help.

Right after any kind of procedure you want to be surrounded by love and you need good healing vibes and positive energy around you.

Award season is such an exciting time of the year and I enjoy seeing who is nominated, who wins and - like most women - the fashions.

I would never hold my children back from that. I would never want them to resent me for holding them back from their father's wedding.

It is one thing to go through a divorce, and quite another to have the rug ripped out from under you in a very publicly humiliating way.

At the end of the day what matters most is that we can cut through the pettiness and drama when it really counts and support each other.

If you can't get pregnant for whatever reason, it's great to know that there are options available for people that want to have a family.

If we can forgive, it will help us to grow and not remain stagnant in the same place. Then we can move on without animosity and hurt feelings.

I am the third generation of women in my family to be struck with a gynecologic cancer. Because of this legacy, we have been genetically tested.

Men are much more up-front with their friends. There isn't as much maneuvering, back-stabbing and covert campaigning. It is what it is at face value.

I think keeping your family close and having them support you helps you so much, and also having a good man in your life, and I have a lot of great friends too.

Don't get me wrong I love a good fashion show as much as any girl - I just had a lot of time to develop other, not-so-girly interests in addition to shoes and purses.

If you come into my house, it looks like I went to Costco and Dylan's Candy and every candy store and I just have glass jars filled with chocolate. I just love chocolate.

I've got a great support group, real and true friends and I'm moving forward with my life. I was sad and wanted to make things work but I'm completely fine now. I'm moving on.

As a cancer survivor of a radical hysterectomy, there are complications that happen after the fact and your body changes and, going through those changes, you don't feel sexy.

I'm a spokesperson, and advocate of awareness. So when anything comes up on our bodies - if it's skin cancer or a bump or something we're not certain of - we need to see our doctors.

I'm just so grateful I had a wonderful surrogate who carried our two children. I have two amazing angels in my life that I love so much. They are such a gift and a blessing from God.

Lyme disease is very debilitating. Being from the East Coast I know Lyme disease is quite common and may lay dormant and may produce flu-like symptoms, as well as neurological issues.

Hawaii is such a wonderful, healing place for me. I feel so at ease with the natives and love the tranquility of the islands. It is a place to find inner peace and be one with nature.

My life and focus are my children, and caring for my mother with her health issues. So when I'm with my friends I want to enjoy their company and not get wrapped up in the distractions.

I saw my mother go through surgical menopause, and at 35, I wasn't ready for that. I wasn't ready for the complications, like bone loss as a result of early menopause, that my mother had.

It is interesting to watch yourself on a reality show. It makes you think about the things that you say and how what you meant to convey can be so easily miscommunicated and misunderstood.

You never know what's going to happen so just enjoy the moments that you have with the people you love and cherish them. Let them know that you love them and how much you appreciate them being in your life.

In Sept of 2013 I was diagnosed as having an aggressive form of stage 2 endometrial cancer. I underwent a rigorous treatment program that included a radical hysterectomy followed with chemo and radiation therapy.

The cancer I had is called clear cell carcinoma, and it can show up anywhere at any time. There's always that little fear in the back of my head, it could show up in my colon, my stomach, my brain. I do worry about that.

I find I really put careful consideration into my friendships with women because the relationships can be so sensitive. Let's face it: some women can be down right catty. This is what makes me cautious, but also what makes my true friendships so dear to me.

Due to my genetic predisposition to certain cancers and having experienced the travails of my mom and grandmother in their battles against this awful disease, I wanted to use my platform to raise awareness and funds for crucial research for these below-the-belt cancers.
