    Episode 151 with Best-Selling Cara Lockwood
    Dec 11 2025
    Cara Lockwood is the bestselling author of more than 35 books, including the USA Today bestsellers "The Takeover" and "I Do (But I Don't)," which became a Lifetime Original Movie starring Denise Richards. In 2023, during a routine mammogram, Cara was diagnosed with Stage 1 HER+ breast cancer. She fought back with a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and reconstructive surgery — and went into remission in 2024. Her latest book, "There's No Good Book for This but I Wrote One Anyway: The Irreverent Guide to Crushing Breast Cancer" (Oct. 1, 2025), is the no-nonsense, laugh-out-loud guide she wishes she'd had during her own journey.

    Part memoir, part pep talk, and part screaming into the void, Cara's book offers patients, survivors, and their loved ones a raw, witty roadmap for navigating the toughest days. Half of all proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Learn more at theresnogoodbookforthis.com and caratheauthor.com. Cara, you've written romantic comedies and bestsellers — what made you take on breast cancer with such humor and candor?
