Send us a text
In this heartfelt episode of Work It Like a Mum, I’m joined by the inspiring Anja Webster — a breast cancer survivor turned recovery coach. After her own life-changing diagnosis and treatment journey, Anja now supports others navigating life after breast cancer.
We talk openly about the emotional rollercoaster of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery — and the often-overlooked period after the NHS signs you off. Anja shares her personal experiences with honesty and compassion, making this episode essential listening for anyone facing illness or supporting a loved one who is.
💬 In this episode, we discuss:
- Anja’s breast cancer diagnosis story and early warning signs
- The emotional weight of treatment and managing anxiety
- Talking to children about cancer
- What recovery really looks like — physically and emotionally
- Strategies for coping, including exercise, rest, and support systems
- Why Anja became a coach to help others post-treatment
💡 Key Takeaways:
- One in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime — awareness and early detection matter
- Recovery isn’t just physical — the emotional healing is often just beginning after treatment ends
- Community, self-compassion, and open conversations can make all the difference
🎯 Perfect for:
Anyone facing a cancer diagnosis, navigating recovery, supporting a loved one, or interested in real stories of resilience and transformation.
