Many leaders are promoted because they are excellent at what they do. Then, almost overnight, they are expected to manage conflict, motivate employees, build trust, communicate clearly, and keep a team engaged. That is a completely different skill set. If you have ever felt like you were learning leadership through trial and error, you are not alone. Leadership can be learned, but growth requires more than a title.
That is why we created the 2027 Marcylle Combs Leadership Series. This year-long virtual course begins in January 2027. Each month, you will receive practical leadership training, tools you can use immediately, and the opportunity to participate in live Q&A about the challenges you are facing. You do not have to figure out leadership alone.

I’ve spent years watching what happens when employees feel disconnected. Communication breaks down. Trust disappears. Good people leave. I’ve also seen what happens when people feel seen, valued, and connected. They speak up. They support one another. They do better work. And yes, they have more fun!

I’m not a speaker who believes work should be serious all the time. You can expect excellence, hold people accountable, and still create a workplace where people laugh and enjoy being together. That’s what I bring to the stage. Real experience. Honest conversations. Practical ways to help leaders strengthen connection, improve culture, and build teams people want to be part of.

What do we do when a woman is doing “everything right” and breast cancer still finds her? This week on 50% with Marcylle Combs, I am talking with Laura Carfang, who was diagnosed at 34 after living a very healthy lifestyle and following a vegan diet. There are still so many questions about environment, lifestyle, exposure, biology, and the many things we still do not fully understand. The CDC reports that 27,136 new breast cancer cases were reported in women younger than 45 in 2022, and incidence in that age group increased an average of 0.7% per year from 2001 to 2022, with a faster increase of 1.1% per year from 2012 to 2022. The American Cancer Society reports that breast cancer incidence has been rising faster in women younger than 50, at about 1.4% per year in recent years. These numbers matter because young women are often told they are too young, too healthy, or too low-risk to worry. If we are serious about awareness, we have to be brave enough to ask what we may be missing when young, healthy women are still being diagnosed.

I’m a Texas girl with expensive taste, and grateful heart. Today is my Birthday! Give me my family, my friends, a little Jesus, and I’m the richest girl in the room.
I may have a few things to say, but my greatest ambition has never been to have a voice—it’s to help other women find and use theirs. Here’s to another year of speaking boldly, leading humbly, and making an impact that matters.

What if the phrase “breast cancer awareness” is only the beginning of what we need to understand? This October, I am dedicating 50% with Marcylle Combs to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and my conversation with Laura Carfang reminded me that breast cancer is not one single story. Awareness has to include the reality that different subtypes can behave differently, require different treatments, and create very different survivorship needs. Metastatic breast cancer also deserves its own visibility, and many people recognize it with teal, green, and pink ribbon colors because it carries a unique and ongoing weight. The CDC reports that about 6% of female breast cancers diagnosed from 2019 to 2023 were found at a distant stage, and the five-year relative survival for distant-stage disease was about 33%. Laura’s work through SurvivingBreastCancer.org is helping create space for education, connection, and support beyond the moment of diagnosis. If awareness does not make room for the many forms breast cancer can take, are we really seeing the people behind the ribbon?

What happens when a month meant to bring awareness also brings back memories, fear, gratitude, grief, and hope all at the same time? October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I never want to forget that the pink ribbon can mean something different depending on the person holding it. For a survivor, it may be a reminder of what she endured and the life she fought to keep. For someone in treatment, it may feel like courage she did not ask for but somehow finds every morning. For a family member, it may bring back the helplessness of watching someone they love walk through something they could not fix. For a caregiver, it may represent the quiet strength of showing up, making the appointment, sitting in the waiting room, and holding it together when everything feels uncertain. This week on 50% with Marcylle Combs, I am honored to welcome Laura Carfang, founder of SurvivingBreastCancer.org, for a conversation about diagnosis, survivorship, advocacy, and the complicated emotions that come with awareness. Maybe the real question is not whether Breast Cancer Awareness Month matters, but whether we are willing to make room for every feeling it brings to the surface.

In this episode, Laura Carfang shares her inspiring journey through breast cancer diagnosis at 34, the importance of early detection, and her impactful work with the nonprofit survivingbreastcancer.org.
Even after a decade, the fear of recurrence lingers. We need to talk about these feelings and empower each other.

This series is close to my heart. Deantha and I shared a short, six-minute conversation to introduce this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness series on 50% with Marcylle Combs. I keep thinking about the women behind the statistics. More than 4 million women with a history of breast cancer are living in the United States today. Some are in treatment. Some have completed treatment. Every one of them carries a story.
I want this series to create space for those stories. Space for honesty. Space for courage. Space for hope. And space to remind women that they do not have to walk through breast cancer alone.
Next week, I will welcome our first official guest of the series. For today, I hope you will take six minutes to listen to the heart behind what is coming.
This month, we honor the fighters, celebrate the survivors, remember those we have lost, and stand beside the families who have walked every step with them.

What if your team isn’t difficult? What if they’re discouraged?
I’ve learned that people rarely wake up and decide to be disengaged. More often, they have spent too much time feeling unheard, overlooked, or unsure whether their work matters. Leadership is not about having all the answers. It starts with paying attention.

Ask the question you have been avoiding. Listen without preparing your defense. Make sure your people know their voices matter. Sometimes the biggest leadership shift begins with five simple words: “Tell me what I’m missing.”

If you’re ready to become a stronger, more intentional leader, join me for the 2027 Leadership Series. This virtual course begins in January 2027 and includes live instruction, practical tools, and live Q&A so you can get answers to the leadership challenges you’re facing right now. Registration is now open! Don’t just learn about leadership. Learn how to lead people like an expert. www.marcyllecombs.com
