That's what Dr. Cindy Trice learned firsthand during treatment for advanced cervical cancer. When a friend brought her a pair of pajamas, it changed everything: she felt like a person again, not just a patient. That moment became the origin story for Kickit Recovery Wear, a company designing stylish, functional post-surgery clothing and chemo-friendly apparel for women at every stage of recovery. In this episode, Cindy shares the 16-year journey from idea to launch — including a paralyzing car accident at 18, a career as a veterinarian, a sold software company, and the fourth-grade friend who helped her finally bring it all to life.During chemo, a friend brought her a pair of cute pajamas. She put them on and everything changed. She walked laps around the nurses' station. She let visitors in. But the nurses could not work around them, and she realized the hospital gown exists for a reason. The question was: why has nobody made something that works for patients and medical staff?That idea sat for sixteen years. In the meantime, Cindy became a veterinarian, built and sold a software company called Relief Rover, and eventually launched KickIt with three co-founders, including her best friend since the fourth grade. They split ownership equally and built the whole thing together.She is also a patient advocate for Cervivor and wants you to know: cervical cancer is preventable. Get screened.If you are building something from a problem you lived through, this conversation will feel familiar.Chapters:🎙️ 01:04 Rate, review, and share the show 🐾 03:11 Meet Dr. Cindy Trice: veterinarian, cancer survivor, and lover of long and low dogs 🏥 05:17 Breaking her back at 18 and learning what dignity in healthcare really means 🐋 12:47 Volunteering at the Marine Mammal Center and lying her way into a pet clinic job 🩺 21:13 Advanced cervical cancer diagnosis right out of vet school 👗 24:41 The hospital gown that stripped her identity and the pajamas...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/f7FqP7W8-EcdwM3jDjh2bR8-K_lYYQIY-w0kz2NXAOA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zYmZj/MzdiNWI3NGY2OGVi/MjljYzRkMDliODAw/Y2U2Yi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
