Better Than Before Breast Cancer with The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach

Have you ever noticed how you talk yourself into staying uncomfortable?

It happens when you know something in life doesn't feel right. Maybe it's served it's purpose, or maybe you've changed and you need something different or you want to express your need or dream for the first time ever.

Then you tell yourself things aren't so bad.

You tell yourself you "should" be happy.

You "should" be grateful.

And in doing that you avoid looking at what is actually happening, and you create low level, long term discomfort.

That's the kind of thing that makes us sick.

In this episode, I'll talk about why we do that to ourselves and how to stop it.

There's a simple beauty in accepting life as it is now and giving yourself permission to stay in it and embrace the truth.

Check out this episode and learn to okay with what is so you can make it even better.

The personal experience of breast cancer is a powerful thing.

It changes minds, lives and relationships.

Fortunately, it also motivates many women to reach out and support others who lives are impacted by this disease.

In this episode, you'll hear the story of a group of women who did exactly that.

I'll talk with Ashley Melton-Roth, Founder and CEO of the non-profit, Rebuild a Bitch.

Ashley and her team of survivors know the power of coaching and the need for emotional support after a breast cancer diagnosis, so they created an organization to help offer that support to more women.

Listen now to hear Ashley's powerful story and her dream has become an incredible resource for women like you to be able to work with her team of coaches (including yours truly).

Sometimes it's hard to process another person's breast cancer story.

Olivia Newton John, Kelly Preston, Suzanne Sommers, or a personal friend.

We can easily get caught up in making their story your own and that never leads to a good place.

In this episode, I focus on celebrating the story of another survivor, on embracing and honoring her journey to make your life fuller, richer, and happier without focusing on the length of time involved.

There's so much that we can learn from each other if we step out of fear and step into inspiration and living fully in the gift of today.

How many times have you found yourself labeling food as "good" or "bad"?

How often have you felt guilty or ashamed of yourself for making a "bad" choice or doing the "wrong" thing when it comes to what you eat?

The fear of food is a real thing, and it can lead to a lot of unhealthy behaviors like, oddly enough, eating more of what you think of as "bad" food because…why not go all in?

But it can also increase stress when it comes to making healthy decisions around food.

In this Tuesday Terrain Talk episode, I'll give you some food facts that you might find surprising, and by the end of the show I hope you'll have a new perspective on thinking about food.

I'll offer you a different way to think about and approach food that will hopefully reduce stress and improve your food choices at the same time.

Check it out now.

If I could delete a belief that limits change and happiness in people's lives I think it would be all or nothing.

When we think we have to do it all, we often end up doing nothing, because it isn't possible to do it all, especially all at once.

In this episode I'll share some insights on the results I have witnessed from all or no thinking and how both thoughts usually land us in the same place.

More importantly, I'll offer you the one belief that will not only set you free from the vicious cycle of all or none thinking, but it will give you the support you need to transform your life.
