Better Than Before Breast Cancer with The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach

#290 Celebrating One Life to Inspire Countless Others Oct 27, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes it's hard to process another person's breast cancer story.

Olivia Newton John, Kelly Preston, Suzanne Sommers, or a personal friend.

We can easily get caught up in making their story your own and that never leads to a good place.

In this episode, I focus on celebrating the story of another survivor, on embracing and honoring her journey to make your life fuller, richer, and happier without focusing on the length of time involved.

There's so much that we can learn from each other if we step out of fear and step into inspiration and living fully in the gift of today.

#289 A Better Way to Think About Food After Breast Cancer Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

How many times have you found yourself labeling food as "good" or "bad"?

How often have you felt guilty or ashamed of yourself for making a "bad" choice or doing the "wrong" thing when it comes to what you eat?

The fear of food is a real thing, and it can lead to a lot of unhealthy behaviors like, oddly enough, eating more of what you think of as "bad" food because…why not go all in?

But it can also increase stress when it comes to making healthy decisions around food.

In this Tuesday Terrain Talk episode, I'll give you some food facts that you might find surprising, and by the end of the show I hope you'll have a new perspective on thinking about food.

I'll offer you a different way to think about and approach food that will hopefully reduce stress and improve your food choices at the same time.

Check it out now.

#288 Finding Happiness Between Not Enough and Too Much After Breast Cancer Oct 20, 2023

Show notes

If I could delete a belief that limits change and happiness in people's lives I think it would be all or nothing.

When we think we have to do it all, we often end up doing nothing, because it isn't possible to do it all, especially all at once.

In this episode I'll share some insights on the results I have witnessed from all or no thinking and how both thoughts usually land us in the same place.

More importantly, I'll offer you the one belief that will not only set you free from the vicious cycle of all or none thinking, but it will give you the support you need to transform your life.

#283 Your Metabolic Health is the Ounce of Prevention You Need After Breast Cancer Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

As the season changes to fall, breast cancer awareness month rushes in with dropping of leaves, and we survivors can easily get caught up in the emotional triggers that come with all the hype and scary stories that accompany this month of awareness.

Then there's the idea of awareness itself.

Sure, early detection is important but isn't prevention more important?

What if, in addition to regular mammograms and breast exams we focused on supporting our metabolic health?

Would that change the ever-rising numbers of breast cancer diagnoses?

According to the National Institute of Health, it would.

But what steps can you take to support your metabolic health?

How do you even know what your body needs?

Well, your body has a special way of telling its story and in this episode, I'll walk you through how to know that story and be the editor so that story becomes the best seller you want it to be.

Listen now and let's step into a place of power.

#282 Healthy Boundaries and Toxic Relationships After Breast Cancer Sep 29, 2023

Show notes

After a breast cancer diagnosis, the most common thoughts we go to are what's safe to eat and how to exercise more.

Yet, when I ask other survivors why they think they got cancer, most will tell me it was a toxic personal or professional relationship that made them sick.

Relationships and emotional wellness are a huge part of our lives and they have a huge impact on our health.

So, why do we downplay the effect that toxic relationships have on us and how do we learn to create and honor healthy boundaries without judging ourselves?

In this episode, I'll dig into this very topic, and I think you'll walk away feeling a lot better about taking care of yourself without feeling guilty about it.
