Better Than Before Breast Cancer with The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach

#362 From Pleaser to Protector - Standing up for Yourself After Breast Cancer


Listen Later

On this day, the 13 anniversary of my first breast cancer diagnosis,  I am reflecting on all the lessons I’ve learned about caring for myself and prioritizing my healing.

I can’t help but think about how often I’ve witnessed myself and my clients feel compelled to please others at the expense of their well-being. This tendency can lead to mistreatment or overextending yourself, even hindering your recovery and overall quality of life.

The central message of this podcast is clear: true kindness towards oneself isn't solely about accommodating others at all costs, but rather about asserting boundaries with compassion and self-respect. I want to encourage you to recognize that setting boundaries is not selfish—it's a vital component of self-care and healing.

You can cultivate resilience and foster a healthier, more sustainable recovery process by prioritizing your needs and limits.

Listen now to gain insights into the transformative power of boundaries, and learn how these principles can empower you to advocate for yourself effectively.

Let’s talk about the journey from being a people-pleaser to becoming a protector of one's well-being. Your healing journey requires nurturing and self-respect.
