Amy Cozart-Lundin is a breast cancer survivor, instructional designer, and writer dedicated to telling the truth about what survivorship actually looks like.

As the founder of Pink9to5, a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and resources for breast cancer patients, caregivers, and survivors, Amy writes about the parts of the journey that don't fit the inspirational narrative—the depression that follows treatment, the grief of losing who you were before, the anger nobody wants survivors to have, and the complicated work of healing that continues long after the pink ribbons are put away.

Diagnosed at 43 with mucinous carcinoma (a rare type for her age), Amy underwent a double mastectomy with aesthetic flat closure, radiation treatment, and is currently on hormone therapy. She's a co-founder of Cozyartz Media Group and holds an M.Ed. in eLearning and Instructional Design, bringing both survivor wisdom and educational expertise to patient advocacy work.

Through Pink9to5's writing and resources, Amy helps cancer patients and caregivers navigate treatment with honesty, agency, and permission to struggle while surviving. She lives in Battle Creek, Michigan with her wife Andrea of 18 years.
