52. Surviving Cancer at Age 20 & Persevering Through Life Challenges with Alexa Cucchiara


Listen Later

In today's episode of Loving Wellness, I am joined by author, speaker, designer, and cancer survivor Alexa Cucchiara. When Alexa was diagnosed with cancer halfway through her college career, she felt alone and felt she knew no one who could understand what she was going through at such a young age. After she was in remission, Alexa made it her goal to make others experiencing challenges feel they were not alone and to help them through their difficult situations. A few years ago, Alexa published her first book, Power to Persevere: Inspiring Stories to Help You Get Through Challenging Moments. It debuted as an Amazon Best Seller, #1 in Teen & Young Adult Diseases, Illnesses, and Injuries, Teen & Young Adult Physical Impairment, and Teen & Young Adult Body, Mind & Spirit. 


In the episode, we chat about:

  • How Alexa beat cancer at the age of 20 & cultivated the power to persevere through her diagnosis and treatment
  • The importance of advocating for yourself as a patient
  • How Alexa’s cancer diagnosis sparked her spiritual awakening
  • Mindset shifts to get you through a hard time
  • Tools in Alexa’s mental health toolkit that helped her throughout her journey
  • Healing from trauma through EMDR
  • How to release stress for good
  • Giving yourself grace during life challenges
  • Finding expanders to manifest what you want
  • The most important life lesson Alexa learned from battling cancer
  • ...and so much more!
