In this heartfelt episode, I share a story of one of my clients who chose to live as if she was cured—even while waiting for a PET scan. Her courage and clarity inspired this conversation about mindset, belief, and the science behind choosing peace in uncertain moments.

 

We’ll explore:

• The difference between what’s true and what fear tells us

• The emotional and biological cost of staying in survival mode

• Studies that show how belief and agency improve healing outcomes

• How to anchor into peace with simple daily practices

• Why the story you tell yourself is powerful medicine

Plus, I’ll leave you with a reflective journal prompt to help you shift your mindset the next time fear creeps in.

This is a must-listen for breast cancer survivors and anyone learning to live in the space between healing and uncertainty.

 

Mentioned Studies:

• Leedham et al., 1995 – Health Psychology

• Taylor & Armor, 1996 – Journal of Personality

• Hack et al., 2005 – Patient Education and Counseling
