Show notes

How do you live the life you want when you're forced to deal with things you don't want in your life?

How do you make the best choice when you don't like any of the options?

How do you find happiness when it feels like you're stuck in a nightmare?

This is the time to drop the shield, stop fighting, and start seeing that things aren't going to be perfect, but they can still be better…maybe even good!

In this show I'll talk about what it means to feel stuck, why it's important to be aware of that that feeling and how you can move beyond it.

Life after breast cancer comes with lots of tough choices but waiting around for them to get easier or better doesn't support creating a happier life.

What if things could be different now?

Listen in and find out how.

#159 After Breast Cancer Awareness Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

You know what kind of awareness you need to have before breast cancer.

Check for lumps, discolorations, dimpled skin, inverted nipples, irregular discharge and do your regularly scheduled mammograms.

But what should you be aware of after breast cancer?

It's a whole new ball game with it's own set of fears, and challenges.

Of course, you still follow through with medical advice and supervision, but what about how you feel about yourself?

Are you aware of what stops you from connecting with others in the way you want, and what to do about it?

Are you aware that you don't have to feel alone, beat yourself up, fight your own body or sabotage your own health because food or alcohol are the only things that bring you joy?

Navigating the space after a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment takes some next level awareness to support you in creating the life you want and loving yourself in the way you deserve.

That's what we dig into in this week's show.

157 It's Good and It's Bad and That's OK Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

When something awful happens in life, it's hard to see the gift in it.

We even stop ourselves from seeing the good because it feels weird, or we feel guilty for saying something good came out of something bad.

The opposite is true too.

We have good news and don't want to embrace it because there's a coast involved.

But what if it didn't have to be one way or the other? What if we could give ourselves permission to accept the good and the bad in all things in life and not feel guilty or resist seeing the big picture?

In this episode you'll hear about seeing the wholeness in life experiences and being ok with the fact that most things are good and bad.

Show notes

156

You know the feeling…The scan date is on the calendar and you're already telling yourself:

What you will do

What you won't do

What the worst thing is

How bad it's going to be

You tell yourself stories before it happens

You try to read into any comments, winks, or smiles the technician gives you

You wait on pins and needless for the results or you even find yourself feeling like your life is on hold.

This is scanxiety.

In this show I'll share some insights on scanxiety and offer tips on ways to manage it so can preserve your peace of mind even when it's scan time.

#155 Borrowed Hope Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

What do you do when…

• You don't know what step to take next? • You feel completely alone? • The light at the end of the tunnel feels like a myth?

You borrow hope.

Not from someone who has it all figured out… But from someone who's just a little further down the path.

In this episode, I talk about those moments of darkness that come with breast cancer—when the overwhelm is heavy and the future feels uncertain.

✨ And how the simple act of reaching out, connecting, and receiving hope can gently carry you forward.

Because you don't have to do this alone. Not in healing. Not in life.

🎧 Tune in for a comforting reminder that hope lives in connection. And sometimes, that's all we need to take the next small step.

Show notes

Have you ever asked yourself what it feels like to be alive?

After breast cancer, so many women are on a quest to "feel normal" again… But what does normal actually mean?

✨ Is it about doing things like you used to? ✨ Or is it about feeling joy, presence, and connection in the life you're living now?

In this week's episode, I invite you to explore a different perspective—one that's not about chasing what was, but about reconnecting with what is.

🎧 Tune in to this gentle conversation that might just help you redefine what thriving looks like…on your terms.

You deserve more than normal—you deserve a life that feels real and alive.

#153 You Are Exactly Where You Are Supposed to Be Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

✨ "I shouldn't be here." ✨ "I should be past this by now." ✨ "This shouldn't still be happening."

Have you ever said one of these to yourself?

If so, you're not alone—and you're not doing anything wrong. But those thoughts? They can quietly chip away at your peace and your healing.

When we resist where we are, we shut the door on the gifts of this moment—the wisdom, the growth, the clarity that only now can offer.

🌱 What if where you are right now isn't a mistake… but an invitation? An invitation to listen in, to soften, to learn.

In this week's episode, we talk about:

💗 Why "shoulds" often show up after a breast cancer diagnosis 💗 How to stop arguing with the present moment 💗 And how to open yourself up to the idea that this moment—however messy or uncomfortable—might be exactly where you're meant to be.

🎧 Listen in, breathe deep, and ask yourself: What can this moment teach me, if I stop resisting it?
