She did it! - Hopecast Episode 3
Ovarian Cancer, Medical Decisions and a New Sense of Life

In Episode 3 of She Did It – The Hopecast, Ariane Bischoff speaks with Brigitte Ott-Göbel, long-standing EWMD member, executive coach, and former Daimler executive. Brigitte shares openly and reflectively the story of a diagnosis that changed her life: ovarian cancer.

She recounts how subtle symptoms and a routine doctor’s visit led to a shocking diagnosis – and why the way medical professionals communicate can make all the difference between fear and reassurance. Brigitte talks about her search for the “right” clinic, an eight-hour surgery, chemotherapy, integrative treatments – and the strength that can come from professional empathy.

A key theme in this episode: how to handle serious illness in a professional context: How much should you share? How do you protect yourself from judgment or being underestimated? Brigitte chose discretion back then – and still stands by that decision today.

A moving conversation about healing, self-awareness, the power of support – and how deep crises can give rise to new strength and gratitude. Brigitte shows: even in the hardest times, hope can grow.
