After facing something as life-changing as cancer, you shouldn’t have to apologise for needing flexibility, setting boundaries, or asking for what you deserve. But many women find that when they return to work, their confidence in speaking up feels smaller than ever.

In this week’s episode of Confidence After Cancer, Gabby explores how to rebuild your voice at work — not through confrontation, but through calm, clear, and consistent communication. She introduces her three Cs of confident communication — Clarity, Calmness, and Consistency  and offers real-life examples of how to speak up for yourself in everyday situations.

From saying no to extra tasks without guilt, to setting boundaries around work hours, and reclaiming space in meetings, this episode will remind you that advocacy is not about being loud it’s about honouring your worth.

Because every time you speak up for yourself, you’re sending your body and mind a powerful message:

I’m safe now. I can trust myself again.
